A collection of source-code patches for Puppeteer and Playwright that fix automation leaks and help avoid bot detection systems like Cloudflare and DataDome. Patches can be applied, removed, and toggled on demand, with drop-in replacement packages (rebrowser-puppeteer, rebrowser-playwright) also available.
Use cases
- avoid bot detection when scraping with puppeteer
- bypass cloudflare captcha pages in playwright
- fix automation leaks in headless chrome
- scrape websites protected by datadome
- make puppeteer undetectable
- patch playwright to pass bot detector tests
When to choose
- you use puppeteer or playwright for scraping and get blocked by anti-bot systems
- you need a drop-in stealth replacement via npm aliases without changing code
- you want toggleable patches rather than a full stealth plugin stack
When to avoid
- you need a stable, officially supported library - patches are fragile against upstream changes
- your scraping targets have no bot detection
- you need a license-guaranteed dependency - the repo has no explicit license file
- you want a managed scraping service instead of self-hosted tooling
