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

Random user agents are still useful, but they’re just one piece of the puzzle. Sites are way better at detecting bots now, so you gotta up your game.

I’ve been using Puppeteer with stealth plugins to avoid detection. It’s a bit more setup, but it’s worth it.

Also, check out libraries like `requests-random-user-agent`—it’s a simple way to keep your user agents fresh without too much hassle.
