Detection approach
window.chrome object structure depth check failed. chrome.loadTimes().requestTime is 0 or missing, or chrome.runtime.id did not throw the expected extension context error. This indicates a shallow window.chrome stub created by automation stealth evasion plugins trying to fool basic existence checks.
How this helps detect bots
Collect this signal alongside session context, request metadata, and other independent indicators. A single anomaly is a lead, not a verdict; corroborating anomalies make automated traffic more likely.
Legitimate traffic to consider
None. Standard Chrome installations always expose complete window.chrome structures.
