## What it is
Pydoll is a Python library for automating Chromium-based browsers directly over the Chrome DevTools Protocol, with no WebDriver binary and no navigator.webdriver flag. It provides humanized interactions, consistent fingerprint injection, network interception, and typed structured data extraction behind an async API.

## Use cases
- scrape websites that block selenium with cloudflare
- automate chrome without webdriver in python
- bypass cloudflare turnstile and recaptcha v3 in a scraper
- run e2e browser tests with realistic human-like clicks and typing
- extract structured data from web pages into typed python models
- spoof browser fingerprint to avoid bot detection
- intercept and block network requests while crawling

## When to choose
- your scraper or tests get blocked by anti-bot systems like Cloudflare or reCAPTCHA
- you want browser automation in Python without managing webdriver binaries or version matching
- you need an async, fully typed API for driving Chromium or Edge

## When to avoid
- you need to automate non-Chromium browsers like Firefox or Safari
- you need a synchronous API or a language other than Python
- you expect guaranteed captcha solving regardless of IP reputation
