The stealth plugin is good, but not 100%. Some sites rely on heuristics other than what the browser reports.

Additions to libraries like Puppeteer that help ensure that the browser being used looks more "organic", often by returning fake data that a normal browser would have (browsers have APIs with things like plugins and fonts installed etc)
