Are Random User Agents Still Effective for Web Scraping and Anonymity?

Random user agents are kinda hit or miss now. Some smaller sites might still fall for it, but bigger ones? Nah, they’ve got their game tight.

I’ve had better luck using residential proxies instead of just relying on random user agents. They make your traffic look like it’s coming from real users, which is way harder to block.

Check out tools like ScrapeOps—they’ve got a free tier and can help you manage proxies and user agents together.
