Hey! So I’ve been using both Puppeteer and Selenium for a while now, and honestly, Puppeteer is way harder to detect in my experience.
Selenium has a lot of telltale signs like the WebDriver flag, which most modern sites can sniff out pretty easily. Puppeteer, on the other hand, runs headless by default and uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol, which makes it blend in better.
That said, you can tweak Selenium to be stealthier—like disabling the WebDriver flag or using a proxy. But out of the box, Puppeteer wins the puppeteer vs selenium detection battle.
If you’re looking for tools, check out “undetected-chromedriver” for Selenium. It’s a lifesaver for bypassing detection.
