The default build of chromedriver is pretty easy to detect client side because it injects js variables with known names. Most bots don't really care if they're detected and excluded from analytics.
Unfortunately a few sites unfairly throttled me to 1 request/hour despite the cost of my requests being fuck-all. So a couple of years ago I had to randomize those variable names, distribute requests over 64 IPs, and screw up all their analytics numbers in the process. I hope it was worth saving $0.01 for them.
