I have recently worked with Selenium but now I have tried Puppeteer and I must say that Puppeteer seems more convinient because it is much harder to detect by AntiBotPrograms(in my opinion) and I dont need to update the BrowserVersion as often as for Selenium. So wich one do you prefer?
 
Personally, I think selenium is good and quick to develop.
yes, this is true. but I think it is much easier to detect. you have to change somethings to make it harder to get detected. and then if you run it on your personal computer you have to update the webdriver always so that it matches your chrome version.
 
It depends on which one is better for the job. If the site doesn't use advanced detection techniques or it's a simple job, then it's a no brainer. Also it supports multiple browsers.
In terms of Puppeteer, it has extra features such as puppeteer stealth which can help avoid detection when dealing with more complex sites.
