ReCAPTCHA works only with stock Android System Webview

[Ristovski]

On the latest (v.19.0) version of NewPipe, ReCAPTCHAs work only when the WebView implementation option under Developer Settings of Android is set to Android System WebView aka the stock Android webview.

Setting this to Chrome, and thus using the WebView provided by an installed Chrome version (like Beta/Dev) makes it so NewPipe endlessly gets captchas over and over again.

In both scenarios the captcha can be solved, but using any non-stock WebView implementation makes it so the captcha appears again in an endless loop.

I haven't looked into the code yet, but could this be related to how NewPipe gets the cookies from the WebView?

Thank you for the detailed report, this was needed since a long time! You can take a look here at how cookies are obtained
