A Node.js library that wraps Puppeteer with a real-browser profile to bypass bot detection systems like Cloudflare and Turnstile captchas. It exposes a connect() API returning standard Puppeteer page and browser objects for automation.
Use cases
- scrape websites protected by cloudflare
- bypass turnstile captcha in puppeteer
- automate browser without being detected as a bot
- pass cloudflare challenge with puppeteer
- undetected browser automation in nodejs
- use puppeteer with real browser fingerprint
When to choose
- you need to automate or scrape Cloudflare-protected sites with Puppeteer-style APIs
- you want a drop-in undetected browser for Node.js scripts
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library - the repo no longer receives updates
- you only need Cloudflare WAF clearance - the authors recommend cf-clearance-scraper instead
- your target site does not use bot detection - plain Puppeteer or Playwright suffices
