    Some people run scripts with Puppeteer’s DevTools API, which helps identify elements loaded only via JavaScript.

    Check for WebGL, canvas fingerprinting, or hidden elements in the HTML that might be used for bot detection.

    I disable JavaScript initially to see if the content is still accessible. If it isn’t, then a headless browser is likely needed.

    Tools like Ghostery can help reveal trackers that could be part of JavaScript traps.
