I don't think it's based on browser, I use chrome as well and I don't have captchas anymore.

[npm]

From what I can see it sends now a POST request after the GET request of the userlookup with the following data:

user: username_of_the_userlookup
randomfriend: same_as_above
g-captcha_respose: lorem_ipsum

most probably they're triggering the google captcha in the background and sending the response again to the server... haven't check tbh.

EDIT:

[Doge]

Same for me.

Our meepits are diligently (or so they say) working to connect you to your page...

Thats what it says then right ahead to the UL

[kadoatie]

Finally they are getting rid of these annoying captchas

[Graff]

Just checked, still have captchas. Is there any story as to why they were put in the first place? Honestly, I think I'm going to miss them... the only outcome I can think of if they remove them is an increase in freezing their already dwindling userbase.
