reCAPTCHAs Detecting SeleniumBase After Chrome Update 132

[ALIMURTAZAAMJ]

Hello everyone,

I’ve noticed a persistent issue after updating Chrome to version 132 while using SeleniumBase for automation. It seems that reCAPTCHA is consistently detecting SeleniumBase and showing captchas for every Google search. This behavior wasn't as frequent before the update.

I’ve already tried:

Rotating user-agents using --user-agent but no significant improvement.
Using incognito mode and clearing cookies before running the script.
Tweaking SeleniumBase's stealth options like --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled and modifying WebDriver flags.
Unfortunately, none of these approaches seem to resolve the detection. It appears Google has enhanced its bot-detection mechanisms alongside this update.

I would appreciate any advice or insights from the community:

Has anyone found a reliable workaround for avoiding detection in recent Chrome updates?
Are there any recommended adjustments to the SeleniumBase configuration to bypass reCAPTCHA?
Would switching to an alternative framework like Playwright or Puppeteer be a better approach for such scenarios?
Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!

Best regards,

reCAPTCHA is different from other anti-bot services because it may require solving a challenge even if not detecting Selenium or other automation frameworks directly. It does a lot of behavioral analysis, and keeps track of activity coming from IP addresses.

If you can't bypass reCAPTCHA with solve_captcha(), then you could try solving the audio challenge with an external repo:

@ALIMURTAZAAMJ recaptcha on google search pages used to work a little differently, unlike regular recaptcha. Google search pages have limits on the number of requests from a single ip address. Try to find them and use a proxy for bypass limits.

It used to work..

I tried to use 100 differnet residential ips from paid provider. Google gave me 100% recaptcha on all search by Playwright ..i tried to add fake agent randomly, header details and everything that is possible tl add stealth pluigna, fake extensions, fingerprints random generation but no luck.

Do you have any suggest for automatic scraping data from Google Sesrch results within Node js and typescript? Please guide me.
