Change how the --test-type option is handled in stealth mode #4555
Change how the --test-type option is handled in stealth mode
By default, SeleniumBase currently sets --test-type so that startup infobars are suppressed.
However, at least one site has been known to use that to detect automation.
changed the title [-]Add option to not use the `--test-type` option by default[/-][+]Change how the `--test-type` option is handled in stealth mode[/+]on Nov 13, 2026
The plan is: --test-type won't be set by default anymore unless the proxy arg is set.
If a user still doesn't want --test-type to be automatically set when using a proxy, then they can set the new --no-tt / no_tt=True option. (This new option allows full stealth with a proxy, but you'll see the harmless message: You are using an unsupported command-line flag: --ignore-certificate-errors. Stability and security will suffer., which won't affect stealth, but it may become an annoyance.) It's going to be a trade-off.
