Appreciation & Question About Browser Impersonation #509
-
|
Hi, First of all, I want to sincerely thank you for your amazing work! Your project has been incredibly valuable for us, helping to optimize our scraping processes by eliminating the need for webdrivers and improving efficiency. I've noticed that your primary focus is on Chrome impersonation, and you strive to stay as close to the latest version as possible—which is really impressive. However, based on my experience, major anti-bot systems are highly adept at detecting Chrome-based automation. I suspect this is because Selenium and similar tools have made Chrome the most widely used option, allowing AI-based detection systems to learn from it extensively. At the same time, using outdated browser fingerprints can also raise suspicion in the antibot systems. Given this, I was wondering if you have any plans to update the impersonation capabilities for other browsers to their latest versions or add opera as well? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! |

We support firefox. And isn't opera using chromium these days? I'm not sure, but their fingerprints should be the same. |

Yes, Firefox is up to date. When I asked about the latest version, I was asking about Edge. That one is way behind. |

I installed a new Opera browser and checked its fingerprints, and technically, it's the same as Chrome. You can perfectly impersonate a Opera browser with the current curl_cffi version from python side. We update the browser versions only when a ssl engine update is introduced in Chrome, which means only when you can not do it yourself with python. Tracking all the browser versions is tedious and boring, it's beyond the scope of a technical library. We will include the full browser database in commercial version, stay tuned. |
