Chrome is being controlled by automated test software.

[mibrahim2001]

I'm trying to automate browser usage using Playwright MCP, but I can't log into my Google account because Chrome detects that it's being controlled by automated test software.

Has anyone found a way around this?

I also tried using my personal Chrome profile (where I’m already logged into all my accounts) by launching Playwright with both --executable-path <path> and --user-data-dir <path>. I made sure to close all existing Chrome instances beforehand, otherwise Playwright throws an error. This setup does launch successfully, but Google still detects the automation and logs me out of all accounts—even in my regular Chrome usage afterward.

So far, I haven’t found a way to bypass this detection or prevent the logout issue.

Any suggestions?
