What are your thoughts on WebDriver? I know you will shit on me for using vanilla, what can I do to make it stronger? Any Selenium alternatives that are worth noting?
 
I'm using Selenium too and haven't had any problems so far but I'm not doing anything crazy. What's supposed to be wrong with it?

Because any site can detect vanilla selenium, so if they want to very easy to ban you
 
What driver you using? You'll want to load it into a hex editor and search and replace $cdc_ to $XXX_ (where X is any letter). Lots of sites look for this as it is injected into the webpage and can be detected by javascript. I would imagine IF are doing this and marking you down for it, even if they don't block / ban outright..

I'm using gecko, do you think my home IP is fucked now for using vanilla on ig?

Thanks!

unlikely. Not ideal but in all honesty small time botting might not count against the IP even if detected, the account may be marked, but that alone will probably not be an issue. Loads of people will probably write simple selenium bots to to simple tasks for themselves. Unless you were spamming / pushing things far, it will be ok (maybe)

I also recommend recompiling it with different values each time you launch your program. Static CDC can also be problematic. You can never be too safe either :)

The hex editing process could be very well scripted right?
 
Puppeteer would be better than Selenium but if you arent doing anything crazy you should be fine.

That did the work! Thanks man.

P.S.: for others who are wondering which software to use, I used frhed.
P.S 2: Don't forget the webdriver as well!
 
Use Puppeteer or Playwright instead.
Fix the fingerprints yourself or use the extra-stealth package if you are lazy/in a rush.
 
Move to puppeteer + puppeteer extra
I could jump right away knowing Java or should I try to learn some JS before starting? I learned java but also did some python bots as the syntax is pretty much the same

Pick up some Node.js, it's not that hard if you know other languages. Google is always there even the PRO's use it.
