Automatically solve CAPTCHAs with Puppeteer & Playwright

Is your Puppeteer or Playwright script getting blocked by CAPTCHAs? In this video I'll show you how to handle both known and unpredictable CAPTCHAs programmatically using Browserless — no third-party libraries, no extra plugins. We cover the full layered approach: making your browser session look as human as possible first, then detecting and solving CAPTCHAs through CDP events, and finally letting Browserless handle everything automatically with a single query parameter.
