**SeleniumBase + Akamai Detection Issue (Need Input)**

[deepak577834]

I’m testing SeleniumBase with Chrome on an Akamai-protected site and seeing some unexpected behavior.

Results so far:

• uc=True → 0% login success
• uc=False + small JS stealth (navigator.webdriver patch) → ~50% success

The setup that currently works sometimes is:

ctx = SB(
    browser="chrome",
    uc=False,
    chromium_arg=[
        f"--user-data-dir={profile_dir}",
        f"--window-size={target_width},{final_height}",
        "--no-first-run",
        "--no-default-browser-check",
        "--lang=en-US",
    ],
)

Then a small patch:

Object.defineProperty(navigator,'webdriver',{get:()=>undefined});

Observations:

• UC mode always fails login
• Normal driver sometimes works
• If network/CDP logging is enabled, login fails immediately
• Manual interaction doesn’t change the behavior

So the problem seems related to browser launch fingerprint or DevTools/CDP presence, not just navigator.webdriver.

Posting here to see if anyone else has experienced similar behavior with SeleniumBase + Akamai-protected login pages.

Make sure you're using CDP Mode. The Walmart examples in that folder bypass Akamai bot-protection.
