Extremely easy. You use a headless browser. This is already used heavily for automated testing.

Half of the point of these scripts is to detect headless browsers. Most of them are fairly obvious, and even when they’re hidden, it’s things like what the article mentions that gives them away. For example, headless browsers can’t respond to permission requests, so they’ll likely immediately accept or reject the request for motion data.
