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

To exclude the collection of enable-automation switches as mentioned in the 6-Nov-2019 update of the top voted answer doesn't work anymore as of April 2020. Instead I was getting the following error:

ERROR:broker_win.cc(55)] Error reading broker pipe: The pipe has been ended. (0x6D)

Here's what's working as of 6th April 2020 with Chrome 80.

Before (in the Chrome console window):

> navigator.webdriver
true

Python example:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features")
options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")

After (in the Chrome console window):

> navigator.webdriver
undefined
