change fingerprints reduced agressive G captch when I started using it cople of days , I don't know why but seems like G trust me when I use new fingprint ,
for FB I din't start doing automation on it yet but honesty I fund out that people start abuse it alot and many people promtng "wide openly" their FB promtion software as comptative to FB paid promtion , so I guess that pushed FB to be more agressive against bot "even more then G"
Last removing all fingrpint my be a fingreint on it self e.g FB didn't expect the users loging with brand new PC "browser OS/Pluging" everyday .

Build your own control derived from existing one based on your preferred language, little bit more work but pays well. Don't using Selenuim for something serious.
I would suggest Java/C#, based on your needs Python might do the job well.
For something simple look into macros.

Sir you are apparently confusing things up, are you software developer or exploring stuff. I would suggest going through basic http requests and manipulating headers/postdata. If your base is already strong, then answer depends upon nature of the task you are trying to perform. We can leave WebDrivers to Selenuim, so much better ways to code things up.
For example take this bot: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/sobotix-identity-creator.1037234/#post-11141893
Specific ways are language dependent, but at the end nothing goes better then playing with headers for specific task, for some you can to go beyond that and make few trade offs. In short there is no single perfect solution.

Sorry for interrupt but this isn't the late 90's big companies didn't relies on HTTP/Headers anymore , even for simple none protected VB forum I was force you to load the page twice "first to grape MD5 hash from JS " and second to attach that hash on it hidden input tag ,
Things even way way difficult when dealing with FB and G they are 100% relies on their complex JS cedes to double check if current user not a bot and get it unique identity "to link it with your other accounts " , more then a year from now I figure out to use G translate from command line "by disabling JS on my browser and analysts POST/GET requests" after few request using PHP G disabled that feature and blocked all none JS requests "like on real browser"
Writing JAVA/C# codes from scratch and try to clone real web browser are waste of time and energy since there already someone did it "Selenium PhantomJS etc "

"I would suggest going through basic http requests and manipulating headers/postdata. If your base is already strong" long story short ALWAYS start from basics.
"codes from scratch and try to clone real web browser are waste of time and energy since there already someone did it "Selenium" well I am speechless, from when selenium testing framework started to provide there browser controls, again to the point thing is difference between rpc other existing browsers and ..... just forget it

As I said FB G etc use JavaScript scripts to detected wither you are using real browser or fake one ,
so your quest will be cloning everything real browser does "JavaScript engine hardware acceleration devices integration Multimedia Engine"
you either use IFTTT or FB official API .

Used webdriver selenium in java for fb and ig automation
Works good but you need to update xpaths like every week..they change quite often
Plus u will need old version of firefox cause firebug got disabled in new versions

@Mike George
The main issue it that WebDriver can easily detected by facebook, so they will know that its a bot
that our main concern

Without trying, you will never find out. Also if you are not aware check out the term "headless browser"
