Start Undetected WebDriver [BETA]

This node starts an “undetected” Chrome-based Selenium WebDriver. It is required if you make use of the other “undetected” nodes (e.g. “Time WebDriver Navigate”).

It prevents being detected as “headless” browser if headless mode is enabled.

Beside that, it works like the common “Start WebDriver” node.

Options

WebDriver

WebDriver
The WebDriver to use (this option is available when the input port is unconnected). Otherwise you can configure this in the corresponding “WebDriver Factory” node. Please see the “WebDriver Factory” node documentation for configuration details.

Timeouts

The timeout for a page load to finish in milliseconds.
Script timeout
The timeout for asynchronous scripts in milliseconds.
Implicit wait
The amount of time to wait in case an element is searched in the DOM and it is not immediately available.
