  1. SeleniumBase

    Python APIs for web automation, testing, and bypassing bot-detection.

    SeleniumBase modifies the webdriver so that it doesn't get detected when used alongside the CDP stealth mode and methods. It'll download chromedriver for you. Not sure what you mean by the multiple branches, as there's just the primary one. What 1000-line methods are you referring to? By "flags", do you mean the different command-line options available? As for Playwright, they aren't undetected: See https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/23884#issueco... - "Playwright is an end-to-end testing framework, where we expect you test on your own environments. Bypassing any form of bot protection is not something we can act on. Thanks for your understanding." On the contrary, SeleniumBase is OK with bypassing bot detection: https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/exa...

  4. rebrowser-patches

    Collection of patches for puppeteer and playwright to avoid automation detection and leaks. Helps to avoid Cloudflare and DataDome CAPTCHA pages. Easy to patch/unpatch, can be enabled/disabled on demand.

    Nice, but I still use puppeteer these days with just rebrowser-patches - https://github.com/rebrowser/rebrowser-patches - works just fine with vanilla chrome
