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

7 Replies, 1168 Views

Hey everyone,
So I’ve been messing around with web automation lately, and I keep hearing about puppeteer vs selenium detection. Which one’s actually harder to detect?

From what I’ve seen, Puppeteer seems a bit stealthier since it’s headless by default and uses Chrome DevTools Protocol. But Selenium’s been around forever, so sites have had more time to build detection methods for it.

Anyone got real-world experience with this? Like, does one get flagged more often than the other? Or are there specific tweaks to make either harder to spot?

Also, does it depend on the site? Some forums say Puppeteer’s better for modern sites, but Selenium’s more versatile overall.

Kinda curious to hear your thoughts!
