A modular plugin framework for Puppeteer (and Playwright via playwright-extra) that extends headless browser automation with drop-in plugins. It includes popular plugins like stealth (anti-detection evasions), recaptcha solving, adblocking, and user-preference management.
Use cases
- scrape websites with headless chrome without getting detected
- solve recaptcha challenges during browser automation
- add plugins to puppeteer scripts
- automate browser tasks with stealth evasions
- block ads in headless browser sessions
- customize browser fingerprint and user agent in puppeteer
When to choose
- you use Puppeteer or Playwright and want modular, reusable browser automation extensions
- you need anti-bot-detection evasions like the stealth plugin
- you want community plugins such as recaptcha solving or adblocking
When to avoid
- you need a simple one-off script with no plugin needs - plain puppeteer suffices
- you require a non-JavaScript language binding
- you need guaranteed evasion of all bot-detection systems, since detection methods evolve constantly
