Browser automation is essential for a wide range of applications, from web scraping to avoiding repetitive tasks. However, staying under the radar during these processes presents significant challenges. Websites employ sophisticated detection mechanisms designed to identify and block automated access, often resulting in the interruption of crucial automation tasks.
Automation tools like Selenium, Puppeteer, and Playwright are indispensable for their intended purposes, but they frequently leave detectable digital fingerprint that can be picked up by advanced anti-bot systems. For instance, the use of a chromedriver or webdriver, which are often used for automation, can be identified by security protocols, leading to bans or restricted access even if the automation itself remains undetected.
To tackle these challenges, Kameleo introduces additional features in its anti-detection browser. These enhancements significantly improve browser undetectability during automated processes by addressing specific detection mechanisms used by websites. Whether you’re conducting large-scale web scraping or intricate automated testing, Kameleo’s features help you bypass anti-bot systems by ensuring a natural user behavior.
Understanding CDP and Bot Detection
CDP
The Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) is a communication protocol created by Chromium browser developers for debugging and developing web browsers. It allows third-party tools to automate, inspect, debug, and profile Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome. CDP is used by tools like Puppeteer and Playwright, and organizes its functionality into domains with specific commands and events.
CDP Events
CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) events are notifications about various browser activities and changes. Key types include:
- Network Events: Track HTTP requests, responses, headers, and their statuses.
- DOM Events: Monitor changes in the web page content, such as dynamic loading of new search results.
- Debugger Events: Triggered during JavaScript code execution.
- Page Events: Related to the loading and lifecycle of a web page.
- Log Events: Capture and report log messages.
Brotector
Brotector is an advanced bot detection framework designed to identify browser automation that is performed through WebDriver and CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol). It can detect various automation technologies such as Driverless, Selenium, Puppeteer, Puppeteer Extra Stealth, Playwright, Undetected Playwright, Undetected Chromedriver and NoDriver.
Key Detection Methods:
- Runtime.enable / console.enable: These events are queried to detect if any automation frameworks have been called, as they are necessary for the frameworks to function. Kameleo resolves this detection issue. Learn more here: GitHub - Brotector Readme
- Human Mouse Movements: Detects unnatural mouse movements typically generated by automation scripts, which tend to follow straight lines rather than the Bezier curves of human-like movements. Bot detection and CAPTCHA systems often use mouse movement characteristics for detection. Learn more here: Bypass DataDome - Mouse Movements in Playwright
- Input.coordinatesLeak: Due to a Chrome bug, the mouse coordinates during automation are detectable. This bug causes the screen and webpage mouse coordinates to match, unlike real human interaction. Kameleo resolves this issue, making automated actions appear human-like. Learn more here: Chromium Issue 40280325
What Are Kameleo Undetected Browser's Key Features?
Kameleo’s real fingerprints and anti-detection capabilities are designed to circumvent the most common browser fingerprint detection methods used by websites. One notable example is the detection of mouse movements and clicks, often referred to as Input.cordinatesLeak
. Websites can detect automated actions due to a bug in Chrome’s CDP implementation, where Chrome aligns screen and webpage mouse coordinates in CDP events - a scenario that doesn't occur with real human interactions. This bug makes it possible for websites to flag and block automation activities.
Kameleo's solution modifies these coordinates in CDP events to mimic real user behavior with real fingerprints, making automated interactions indistinguishable from those performed by a human. This approach effectively prevents websites from detecting automation tools through this method.
Another common detection mechanism is the Runtime.enable
feature, which some websites use to detect the presence of webdrivers. Kameleo’s undetectable browser addresses this as well, ensuring that runtime detection attempts are thwarted.
How Kameleo Overcomes Anti-bot Detection Mechanisms
Kameleo’s anti-detection technology ensures that automated scripts can run without being flagged by anti-bot systems. In a standard environment, the following script might be flagged due to detectable mouse events or runtime scripts. With Kameleo antidetect browser, these actions become undetectable, allowing for seamless automation.
Demonstrating Kameleo’s Effectiveness
To illustrate the effectiveness of Kameleo’s undetectable browser, consider the following use case. A typical automation task might be detected due to Input.cordinatesLeak
or Runtime.enable
. However, when using Kameleo, these detections are bypassed, enabling the automation to proceed without interruption.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of detectable versus undetectable automation:
- Without Kameleo: Automation tasks are flagged due to detectable CDP events and runtime scripts.


- With Kameleo: Automation tasks run undetected, mimicking real human behavior perfectly.
