[b]"Is undetected_chromedriver still the best way to avoid detection while web scraping?"[/b]

undetected_chromedriver is still solid, but I agree, it can be a bit finicky. I’ve had some success pairing it with Bright Data’s proxy service. Their residential proxies are top-notch and help avoid blocks.

Also, check out Scrapy if you’re open to switching tools. It’s not browser-based, but it’s super fast and works well for scraping without getting flagged.
