Random user agents are a good start, but they’re not enough anymore. Sites are way too smart now.
I’ve been using Puppeteer with randomized behavior and proxy rotation. It’s a bit more setup, but it’s worth it.
Also, check out libraries like `fake-useragent`—it’s a simple way to keep your user agents fresh without too much hassle.
