    My belief is that Selenium injects something into the page via javascript to find and access elements. This injection is what I believe they are detecting. Commented Oct 25, 2018 at 13:31

    You are right, This test is 100% valid. I had done similar test with same results. I could send Enter tab or send keys. The moment I access elements the page stoped working. So If driver injects some javascript into the browser. We could just encrypt that javascript using chrome extension and decrypt on next page using same extension. I will try to look at it following days. Commented Mar 4, 2020 at 9:40
  • Could you provide a link to test this behavior? I would like to investigate this detection method and create a bypass Commented Jun 21, 2020 at 2:51
  • I'd be interested to see if you could bypass this in headless chrome, as extensions are supported here Commented Jul 19, 2020 at 0:32

    it doesn't work like that. A website can use a variety of services and methods to detect bots. The best way is just detect selenium through the fingerprints. But there are many others. Commented Aug 11, 2021 at 15:33
