If you’re scraping at scale, you gotta think about fingerprints. Sites track stuff like canvas rendering, WebGL, and fonts.
Tools like Puppeteer-stealth or Playwright’s stealth mode help, but it’s an arms race.
Also, consider using a VPN + proxy combo if you’re really paranoid.

Hey everyone, thx for all the tips!
Tried Puppeteer with stealth mode and it’s way better—still got a few blocks but way fewer than before.
Anyone got a good free/cheap proxy provider? The ones I’ve found either suck or cost a fortune.
Also, how do you handle rate limits? Just hardcode delays or something smarter?
