Selenium Detection and Anti-detect browsers

[VisualA]

So, I read this article. https://medium.com/@browserscan/browser-fingerprints-101-automation-detection-322ac81156ae

And it was pretty eye opening. As a newbie, I had no idea that Selenium would allow itself to be detected so easily. Do anti-detect browsers typically strip these objects before sending them or do we have to find our own workarounds?

Antidetect browsers use special libraries to avoid detection, such as undetected chromedriver, nodriver etc.
That's always a cat-mouse game, so you have to stay on the edge to be successfull.

Alright,

However, by that same logic...

Selenium-Stealth is a webdriver module for python which seems to address all these issues (without the need for an anti-detect browser). In addition to saving money, wouldn't something like this give us more control over what is being shown to the platforms that we are connecting to?

As I told you, this is always a cat-mouse game. Selenium-stealth is not enough these days to avoid detection.

So an anti-detect browser is a must? Because it is 'on the edge'?

Thank you for sharing the article; it helped me read it, and it’s very usefu

Currently, there are many anti-detect browsers that can bypass detection, and I find them quite good

It depends on the website/platform you're dealing with,
Selenium-stealth or undetected chromedriver could be enough for many of them,
While others need you to invest in some good anti-detect browser as they're not really equal,

Make your a/b test depends on your targetted website(s), usage and needs,
Most of them offer free trials which should be enough to know if it's gonna do the job (or no)

For a lot of people that aren't programmers just using an anti detect browser is a lot easier than managing your own selenium version

 

[VisualA]

Well,

Thank you all. This has been very informative. =D

 

[SuperNovaProxy]

Totally agree, it's much easier to just use antidetect browser

Anti-detect browsers are built to automatically handle the stripping and tweaking of detectable elements, so you don’t have to go hunting for workarounds yourself. These browsers are all about spoofing or randomizing things like WebGL, canvas data, fonts, and other system identifiers, making your setup look like a legit user. Unlike older methods like Selenium, which require you to manually adjust properties and still might leave behind traces, anti-detect browsers take care of the entire fingerprinting process. That means even the most advanced detection systems have a harder time spotting automation. They're a much more reliable choice for high-security tasks.
