What alternatives to selenium would you guys recommend for automating social media websites? I have tried using python selenium in the past with a few stealth packages, but they do not provide the flexibility and the amount of "stealthiness" I desire

Packages used:
selenium-stealth
undetected-chromedriver

If you know any python solution to these problems or better alternatives to python selenium, please leave them in the comments.
Thank you!

You could achieve that using specific chromedriver version, I dont remember which one it was now

Thanks for the reply,

Unfortunately that won't solve my problem as I'm dealing with fingerprint spoofing issues at the moment
 
there is stuff like casperjs puppeeteer phantomjs
what are you trying to spoof -- usually just takes some research to find the line of code to spoof that thing.
alternative solutions may be zennoposter and browserAutomationStudio
 
You might be referring to fingerprint spoofing. There are some repo for puppetter which can do that.

Do you think puppeteer is better than selenium?

"stealthiness'

What types of problem you are facing while go stealth?

The current package I'm using to spoof WebGL stuff doesn't work on multiple tabs and in general has tons of bugs.

Everyone says so. I am also trying to learn puppetter. Search for fakebrowser on google. You will find what you are looking for. They claim to be stealthy but I havent tried it myself.
 
If you want more stealthiness, the problem is not selenium or anything.

In fact, it's time for you to use undetected browsers. There are a few such as Multilogin, Gologin, DolphinAnty, Adspower.
They provide the best anonymity to prevent being detected as a bot or whatever. They offer fingerprints and all kind of things. A very good duo is Selenium + Antidetect browsers.

If you are just tired of selenium ( which is the best option for python botting ) then there is an alternative called Playwright. It's very powerful and good, but there is a lack of support or compability with antidetect browsers. So you will have to verify if the service you will be using supports Playwright or not. Usually there are bugs and it can get very annoying.

So for best results and less struggles,

I recommend Python selenium + Antidetect

or

even better,

Javascript Puppeteer + Antidetect

Puppeteer is the main thing used for botting. They have this very usefeul headless feature that everyone loves. It lets you run more sessions in the same time and save ressources.
 
BrowserAutomationStudio provide a fingerprint browser that provides fingerprints from real devices, and I prefer its non-unique Canvas.

i have tried and tested selenium + gologin browser...it doesn't work. Gets detected by cloudfare...even with isp proxies
 
Try not using selenium at all- pop open a normal browser and automate via pyautogui

I disagree, selenium can automate everything you need on a normal browser. On top of that, you can choose whatever browser engine you want to use, you can use normal browser with gui or 20 low ram no gui browser engines doing stuff 20x quicker.

You're disagreeing with a point that I'm not even making? The poster mentions stealthiness is a concern and the main problem with selenium and the related alternatives is that it's easy to figure out if the browser is being automated in that way, i.e. a webdriver, and therefore be blocked.
 
guys i there stable solution for tihs?

i was thinking also in previous chat like

Selenium + AntyBrowser
Pupeeteer + AntyBrowser

i know its kind creepy but someone in planet must be solve it
