From my experience, Puppeteer is way harder to detect than Selenium. Selenium’s been around forever, so sites have built-in detectors for it.
But here’s the thing: Puppeteer can still get flagged if you don’t tweak it. I’ve had success by disabling the `webdriver` flag and randomizing mouse movements.
If you’re looking for tools, Scrapy is another option, but it’s more for scraping than automation.
