Checking it out and I see you're using CDP.

It's been a bit, but I'm pretty sure use of CDP can be detected. Has anything changed on that front, or are you aware and you're just bypassing with automated captcha handling?

CDP itself is not detectable. It turns out that other libraries like puppeteer and playwright often leave obvious traces, like create contexts with common prefixes, defining attributes in the navigator property.

I did a clean implementation on top of the CDP, without many signals for tracking. I added realistic interactions, among other measures.
