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

31 Replies, 2981 Views

Puppeteer vs Selenium detection is such a nuanced topic. I’ve used both, and here’s my take: Puppeteer is better for stealth, but only if you configure it right.

Selenium is like a giant red flag for most sites. They’ve had years to build detectors for it. Puppeteer is newer, so it’s not as widely targeted—yet.

If you’re serious about avoiding detection, look into browser fingerprinting and how sites track automation. Tools like `puppeteer-extra` and `selenium-stealth` can help, but they’re not magic bullets.
