Evade detection of selenium automation

There are multiple ways to Evade detection of Selenium automation.


Using --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled

Code Block:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.solebox.com/de_DE')
print(driver.page_source)

Console Output:

<!-- =============== This snippet of JavaScript handles fetching the dynamic recommendations from the remote recommendations server
and then makes a call to render the configured template with the returned recommended products: ================= -->

<script>
(function(){
// window.CQuotient is provided on the page by the Analytics code:
var cq = window.CQuotient;
if (cq && ('function' == typeof cq.getCQUserId)
&& ('function' == typeof cq.getCQCookieId)
&& ('function' == typeof cq.getCQHashedEmail)
&& ('function' == typeof cq.getCQHashedLogin)) {
var recommender="[[&quot;Homepage_Topseller&quot;]]";
// cleaning up the leading/trailing brackets and quotes:
recommender=recommender.slice(8, recommender.length-8);
var separator="|||";
.
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">//<!--

Using undetected_chromedriver

Code Block:

import undetected_chromedriver as uc
from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
driver = uc.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://www.solebox.com/de_DE")
print(driver.page_source)

Console Output:

<script type="text/javascript" id="">!function(b,e,f,g,a,c,d){b.fbq||(a=b.fbq=function(){a.callMethod?a.callMethod.apply(a,arguments):a.queue.push(arguments)},b._fbq||(b._fbq=a),a.push=a,a.loaded=!0,a.version="2.0",a.queue=[],c=e.createElement(f),c.async=!0,c.src=g,d=e.getElementsByTagName(f)[0],d.parentNode.insertBefore(c,d))}(window,document,"script","https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js");fbq("init",google_tag_manager["GTM-M9TMD24"].macro(19));fbq("track","PageView");</script>
