The Cloudflare Challenge

Why Playwright automation gets blocked by Cloudflare

Browser Fingerprinting
Cloudflare analyzes hundreds of browser signals including WebDriver flags, canvas fingerprints, WebGL rendering, and navigator properties to detect automated browsers.
Turnstile Challenges
Cloudflare's Turnstile CAPTCHA system requires complex JavaScript challenges that standard Playwright setups cannot solve, blocking your automation.
Behavioral Analysis
Advanced bot detection monitors mouse movements, timing patterns, and interaction sequences to distinguish bots from real users, even with stealth plugins.
Solution

How Browserless Solves Cloudflare for Playwright

Built-in stealth mode and automated bypass specifically optimized for Playwright

Automatic Stealth Mode
All Playwright connections include built-in stealth patches that remove WebDriver flags, randomize fingerprints, and sanitize browser properties that Cloudflare checks.
Turnstile Auto-Solver
Integrated Cloudflare Turnstile solving that automatically detects and bypasses challenges without manual intervention or third-party services.
Real Browser Context
Run on real Chrome instances with genuine browser environments, complete with proper canvas rendering and WebGL that passes Cloudflare's fingerprint checks.
