Why Browser Agent Bot Detection Is About to Change Forever Your cloud browser provider’s “stealth mode” is likely already compromised. In fact, current detection mechanisms can identify these so-called stealth environments in under 50 milliseconds. If you are relying on Playwright with stealth plugins, “stealth” cloud providers, or Selenium forks claiming to be undetectable, you are living on borrowed time. These solutions might work for a single session or a handful of requests, but they fail completely at scale. When you are dealing with thousands of concurrent sessions and millions of requests, that is where everything breaks down. The Cat …
