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

Hey everyone,
So I’ve been diving into web automation lately, and I keep hearing about puppeteer vs selenium detection. Which one’s actually harder to detect? Like, I know both have their quirks, but I’m curious if one’s more stealthy than the other.

From what I’ve read, Puppeteer’s headless mode can sometimes leave traces that sites pick up on, but Selenium’s been around forever, so a lot of sites are *super* tuned to catch it. Still, I’ve seen some folks say Puppeteer’s newer and less predictable, so maybe it’s harder to detect?

Anyone got real-world experience with this? Like, have you noticed one getting flagged more than the other? Or is it just a toss-up depending on the site?

Also, are there any tricks to make either one less detectable? I’m kinda new to this, so any tips would be awesome!

Cheers!
