New YouTube video showing undetected-chromedriver with bug-fixes and enhancements:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dMFI3e85ig

Note the improvements made:

• Driver version-detection & management.
• Allowing mismatched browser/driver versions.
• Automatically changing the user agent to prevent detection. (HeadlessChrome to Chrome)
• Automatically disconnecting chromedriver from Chrome as needed.
• Multithreading tests in parallel via pytest-xdist.
• Adjusting configuration based on the environment.
• Has options for setting proxy and proxy-with-auth.

Many of these fixes can be back-ported easily to undetected-chromedriver. (Explanation in the video of how to do that, such as using requests.get(url) before navigating to a URL to know if you need to disconnect/reconnect the driver from Chrome.)

Basic script:

from seleniumbase import Driver
import time

driver = Driver(uc=True)
driver.get("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
time.sleep(4)
driver.quit()

Here's a more-advanced script with retries and a captcha-click failsafe for bypassing detection:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True) as sb:
    sb.driver.get("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
    sb.sleep(1)
    if not sb.is_text_visible("OH YEAH, you passed!", "h1"):
        sb.get_new_driver(undetectable=True)
        sb.driver.get("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
        sb.sleep(1)
    if not sb.is_text_visible("OH YEAH, you passed!", "h1"):
        if sb.is_element_visible('iframe[src*="challenge"]'):
            with sb.frame_switch('iframe[src*="challenge"]'):
                sb.click("span.mark")
                sb.sleep(2)
    sb.activate_demo_mode()
    sb.assert_text("OH YEAH, you passed!", "h1", timeout=3)

hello mdmintz
I do some code with seleniumbase, it is great
i checked that uc can not bypass cloudflare now but seleniumbase(uc mode) can do it
and i want to know how to use seleniumbase debugging and how to remote a opened chrome browser with '--remote-debugging-port='
thank you so much

[mdmintz]

Hello,
For remote debugging: If you use --remote-debug / remote_debug=True, then you should be able to see those pages from chrome://inspect/#devices and chrome://inspect/#pages

For command-line debugging, use a breakpoint() in the location where you want a breakpoint. That takes you into the Pdb+ debugger. (n: next, c: continue, s: step into)

I'm trying to adapt my current UC script to sbase w/ uc mode on, but it seems I cannot override download folders using sbase. Am I doing it wrong or sbase does not allow this? Because it is sadly essential to me that the files are downloaded to separated folders for proper bibliographic organization.

[mdmintz]

The methods exist:

self.download_file(file_url, destination_folder=None)

self.save_file_as(file_url, new_file_name, destination_folder=None)

This framework works great. I highly recommend everyone using undetected-chromedriver to switch over to SeleniumBase, as it is still maintained and works very well.
