New headless Chrome has been released and has a near-perfect browser fingerprint
There are even Puppeteer plugins that will do it for you. [^1]
The best detection I've come across so far (i.e. before this release) has just required I run headless Chrome in headed mode. Granted, I don't do a ton of scraping -- mostly just pulling data out of websites so that I can play with it in aggregate using more civilized tools.
