Does walmart keep prompting you with "Press and hold" anti bot requests? I have a similar project and keep getting these on walmart.

  Nope! Not even once, which surprised me. We've done about 6 grocery runs with it now, and it's never been blocked by any anti-bot detection. Maybe it's because I'm signed into my Walmart account already, or because it's using Chrome's devtools protocol to control the browser instead of something like Puppeteer?

    it's trivial to detect vanilla CDP sessions. There's many parameters in calculating a risk profile including having a residential IP number. I think you have that.

      playwriter.dev will reuse your existing session or cookies I really like it over cdp when its stuff i need done from my regular chrome profile (you can also make separate profiles on chrome so the agent uses only that or smt like that)

        I'm not exactly sure but playwriter highly likely will pollute the global name space of your existing session.

      I was going to say that I'm using Apple's iCloud VPN, but I don't think Chrome actually uses that on Mac. I think you're right, it's probably my residential IP.

    You being authenticated is probably the big helper, yes.
