Evading Browser Fingerprinting
Understand how sites fingerprint headless browsers and learn techniques to make automated browsers blend in with real users.
What Is Fingerprinting
Beyond IP and headers, sites profile your browser fingerprint: a combination of attributes like screen size, fonts, WebGL renderer, and JavaScript quirks that together identify automation.
Even with rotating proxies, a consistent automation fingerprint gets you blocked.

// site-side detection
if (navigator.webdriver) {
blockBot();
