Report #527
[tooling] Same inconsistent browser fingerprint across sessions links and blocks scraper
Use Apify fingerprint-suite: generate a realistic, internally consistent fingerprint with fingerprint-generator and inject it into Playwright/Puppeteer via fingerprint-injector.
Journey Context:
Rotating IP is insufficient; anti-bots correlate canvas, WebGL, fonts, plugins, screen metrics, and headers. Randomizing each attribute independently creates impossible fingerprints \(e.g., Linux headers with Windows fonts\). fingerprint-suite uses a Bayesian network trained on real browser datasets so viewport, OS, fonts, WebGL vendor, and headers all match. It is open-source \(Apache 2.0\) and works with both Playwright and Puppeteer. Combine with proxies and rebrowser-patches for best results.
