A Selenium setup is a staple for browser automation, and CapSkip drops right in. Your your driver flow as is and hand off the challenge to CapSkip when one shows up, so the run continues without human steps.
Datacenter proxies and residential ones behave differently under detection scrutiny. Whatever blend your setup uses, CapSkip solves the CAPTCHA on your machine and adds no adding a remote hop to the chain.
The GeeTest slider puzzles are notoriously awkward for automation, which is why running a solver that covers them helps a lot. CapSkip solves GeeTest locally, so scripts that rely on those sites keep running whenever the challenge shows up.
Google reCAPTCHA v2 remains one of the most common challenges on the web, from the familiar checkbox to silent and callback variants.
