Which is harder to detect: Puppeteer vs Selenium detection in web automation?

20 Replies, 1963 Views

Selenium is def easier to detect, no doubt. Puppeteer’s headless mode is a game-changer, but it’s not foolproof. Sites are getting smarter, and they can still sniff out Puppeteer if you don’t configure it right.

I’d recommend using puppeteer-extra with the stealth plugin. It’s a wrapper around Puppeteer that helps mask a lot of the telltale signs.

Also, rotating proxies is a must for both tools. I use Bright Data for proxies, and it’s been solid.
