Cannot skip google search recaptcha

[wyl765]

I can skip Google in my workstation, but when I run it in a linux container, Google always detect me as a bot.

Please explain your setup in more detail. If available post you container config and/or you Patchright Setup/Minimal Reproducable Script

Wel, I have the same issue, using direct, decodo, brightdata, rayobyte proxies.

// Patchright best practices: channel: 'chrome', NO custom userAgent/headers
      this.browserServer = await patchright.launchServer({
          port: this.config.server.port,
          headless: false,       // Patchright works best with headless: false
          wsPath: `/playwright/${this.workerId}`,
          channel: 'chrome',     // Use Google Chrome (not Chromium)
          args: [
              '--no-sandbox',
              '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
              '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
          ],
      });

@Vinyzu I did not do any special changes. Just follow the readme to launch, and go to google trigger a search. Then I run the same code in a linux container. The search cannot pass. My local machine is windows

chromium.launchPersistentContext("...", {
channel: "chrome",
headless: false,
viewport: null,
// do NOT add custom browser headers or userAgent
});

Yeah, seems like reCAPTCHA v3 does detect me as a bot when launching it from an AWS Lambda :/
Will do more testing to see if maybe randomizing the cursor helps

Hi again. It seems like this is an issue with fingerprinting/detecting the environment your running in, which is out of scope for Patchright.
I will transfer this Issue to the Main Driver Repo and convert it into a discussion so you guys can try to figure out a solution, even though this isnt considered a bug anymore.
