Puppeteer vs selenium detection really comes down to the site you’re targeting.
For modern, JS-heavy sites, Puppeteer is the clear winner. It’s faster, more efficient, and harder to detect. But for older sites or ones with simpler detection methods, Selenium can work just as well if you tweak it.
I’ve used both, and my advice is to test them on your target site before committing. Sometimes Puppeteer works better, sometimes Selenium does.
Also, check out “Playwright” if you’re open to trying something new—it’s like Puppeteer but with more features.
