Not sure if you have explored rolling captcha solving services into your code. Its easy as fuck and you can do it in a few lines of code. Check out DeathByCaptcha or AntiCaptcha. It's like $2.99 per 1,000 successfully solved captchas.

I guess my point is, you dont have to be undetected nor write 1000 lines of code to scrape or do whatever you are needing to do always. Saved me a ton of headaches and time when captchas are involved.

SeleniumBase is free, open-source, can bypass CAPTCHAs with a few lines of code, and it works from the free tier of GitHub Actions.
It cant bypass all captchas and thats what im talking about.
According to live demos seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr90iQmNsKM, it'll bypass Cloudflare, Akamai, Shape Security, DataDome, Incapsula, Kasada, and PerimeterX.
Okay, and? DeathByCaptcha can bypass all of those + all other captchas.

Write a ton of code or just roll in a solving service API. Ez decision and save a ton of time + get to scraping faster.

I feel like what you're saying is you have a vested interest in the services you mentioned with all of this scope creep to your OG argument.
With SeleniumBase, you can bypass CAPTCHAs with one line of code: `sb.uc_gui_click_captcha()`
okay but it doesnt solve all captchas but a solving service does with a few more lines of code.

Can your script even do Google CAPTCHA and HCaptcha? What about the captcha from Dread? (aint no way it can)

There is no need to bypass them when you can just solve them.

It's like you're not even reading what he wrote.
