Standard Playwright leaks everywhere — TLS fingerprint, navigator.webdriver, WebGL renderer differences.</p> <p>Built a library that handles all of that before the page even loads:</p> <ul> <li>1. Region-spoofed TLS handshakes (Japan, US, EU, Korea) instead of Python's defaults</li> <li>2. JS patches that strip automation flags before first paint</li> <li>3. Human-like mouse movements and typing speed</li> <li>4. Auto proxy/session rotation on block detection</li> <li>5. Built-in MCP server for agent integration</li> </ul> <p>It's on PyPI, MIT licensed:</p> <blockquote> <p>pip install agentic-stealth-browser</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://github.com/shanewas/agentic-stealth-browser" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/shanewas/agentic-stealth-browser</a></p> <p>Tested against bot.sannysoft.com, pixelscan.net, and CreepJS — clean passes in headless mode.</p> <p>Would love feedback from people who actually hit these problems daily. What's the hardest site you've had to scrape?</p> automation opensource python webscraping
