Are Random User Agents Still Effective for Web Scraping and Privacy? or How Do You Generate and Use R

"Are Random User Agents Still Effective for Web Scraping and Privacy?"

Hey folks, quick q—do random user agents even work anymore?

I’ve been using them for scraping, but some sites still seem to sniff me out. Like, are they just checking for mismatched headers now? Or is it more about IP rotation + random user agents together?

Also, for privacy… idk if swapping UA strings really hides much these days. Feels like fingerprints get you anyway.

What’s your experience? Still worth the hassle or nah?
