Question
Why does my browser automation keep getting blocked?
Usually for three reasons that no fingerprint patch fixes: the browser runs headless, its IP is a datacenter address or one already flagged as a proxy, and its timezone or location disagrees with that IP. Fix those before spoofing anything.

Headless is detectable on its own
Headless Chrome renders differently from a browser with a window — timing, fonts, GPU paths, events a window manager would fire — and patching JavaScript properties does not change any of that. Run headful.
IP reputation
Datacenter ranges are easy to spot, and not every address sold as residential is clean: in a pool of twenty static residential addresses we measured, fifteen were already flagged as proxies. Measure the addresses you use and prefer the clean ones.
A browser that disagrees with itself
An IP in Chicago with a browser reporting UTC is a contradiction no real visitor produces. Take the timezone from the exit IP each session uses.
Questions
- Will a CAPTCHA solver fix it?
- It clears the challenge in front of you, not the signals that put it there. Fix the browser, the IP and the timezone first, and solve what remains.
- Can I try it before paying?
- Yes. A new account gets 100 credits, enough for a few sessions of real use. A session costs 5 credits to start and 1 per minute after that.
