Open-source Playwright wrapper that passes bot.sannysoft.com, pixelscan, and CreepJS in headless mode
An open-source Playwright wrapper has been developed to enhance web scraping capabilities. This library addresses common issues such as being blocked by websites by implementing various techniques to mimic human behavior. It has been tested successfully against multiple anti-bot services in headless mode.
- ▪The library offers region-spoofed TLS handshakes to avoid detection.
- ▪It includes JavaScript patches that remove automation flags before the page loads.
- ▪Human-like mouse movements and typing speeds are simulated to further reduce the chance of being blocked.

Standard Playwright leaks everywhere — TLS fingerprint, navigator.webdriver, WebGL renderer differences. Built a library that handles all of that before the page even loads: 1.
