Cloudflare-hard hosts: switch from sb_cdp.Chrome to Driver(uc=True) for disconnect/reconnect pattern?

[arly51]

Hi @mdmintz , on sb_cdp.Chrome we I want to learn more on seleniumbase's CF's prototype-chain js-proxy detector (fires when Runtime.enable has been called and always-on in CDP Mode) capabilities. Every sb.evaluate adds a sample. Hard CF customers might flag me even though gui_click_captcha() clicks correctly.

disconnect() / reconnect() / uc_open_with_reconnect() aren't exposed on sb_cdp.Chrome since self.driver is cdp_driver.Browser. They live on Driver(uc=True) thus no more Runtime.enable seen by CF .

For CF-hard sites specifically, do you recommend:

1. Migrate to Driver(uc=True) and wrap the captcha click in disconnect() / reconnect()?
2. Stay on CDP Mode (lean on proxy + minimal evaluate)?
3. Hybrid — CDP for general, UC for CF-hard hosts?
4. Something undocumented to skip Runtime.enable in CDP Mode?

Thanks.

A lot of that is from the older UC Mode. The newer CDP Mode doesn't use WebDriver, and also has newer CDP methods for handling CAPTCHAs, such as solve_captcha(), which doesn't use PyAutoGUI. See the CDP Mode docs and try out the newer examples.
