Puppeteer Stealth is puppeteer plugin that fortifies headles browser for web scraping. This makes detection of puppeteer scrapers more difficult allowing to scrape targets which use headless browser detection techniques.

Puppeteer-stealth does this by applying various javascript patches to cover up traces of headless browser presence in the web scraping browser's environment.

Example Use

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra')

// add stealth plugin and use defaults (all evasion techniques)
const StealthPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth')
puppeteer.use(StealthPlugin())

// puppeteer usage as normal
puppeteer.launch({ headless: true }).then(async browser => {
  console.log('Running tests..')
  const page = await browser.newPage()
  await page.goto('https://bot.sannysoft.com')
  await page.waitForTimeout(5000)
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'result.png', fullPage: true })
  await browser.close()
  console.log("success - check the result.png screenshot")
})
