Selenium webdriver: Modifying navigator.webdriver flag to prevent selenium detection

Question

I\'m trying to automate a very basic task in a website using selenium and chrome but somehow the website detects when chrome is driven by selenium and blocks every request.

Answer 1

I would like to add a Java alternative to the cdp command method mentioned by pguardiario

Map params = new HashMap();
params.put("source", "Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'webdriver', { get: () => undefined })");
driver.executeCdpCommand("Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument", params);

In order for this to work you need to use the ChromiumDriver from the org.openqa.selenium.chromium.ChromiumDriver package. From what I can tell that package is not included in Selenium 3.141.59 so I used the Selenium 4 alpha.

Also, the excludeSwitches/useAutomationExtension experimental options do not seem to work for me anymore with ChromeDriver 79 and Chrome 79.
