There's no reason why the same cat and mouse game wouldn't apply to this browser as a whole.

- Tsarp 1y agoTrue, but its orders of magnitude lesser when webdriver flag is an extremely basic bot check that is now considered 101.
- yencabulator 1y agoIt sounds like you're thinking of window.navigator.webdriver, which is a WebDriver thing not part of Chrome DevTools Protocol. With CDP, as far as I can tell the detection mechanisms are more about the heuristics of e.g. how fast a form is filled -- which this AI stuff will trigger immediately too. (And even if CDP had an explicit marker somewhere, surely patching that out is easier than piling up enough patches to "make a new browser".)
- Tsarp 1y agoDont you need to navigator.webdriver === true for CDP to drive automation? Maybe I need to update my understanding on this. THis is usually a dead giveaway
- yencabulator 1y agoI see mentions that (unpatched) webdriver is easy to detect but detecting CDP only works by heuristics on timing etc.
