Detection approach
navigator.webdriver getter descriptor missing in Chrome: stealth deleted Object.getPrototypeOf(navigator).webdriver. In real Chrome this is a native getter returning false. The deletion is the signature of puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth's navigator.webdriver evasion.
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. Unique signature of puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth's property deletion evasion.
