Bright Data ranks #1 on Foil's leaderboard [1], but is still detected. ScrapFly is #4 and ZenRows #7. And I guess Capsolver isn't really a scraping thing but is more just for the captcha component.

I think it'd be good if there were more products that did a better job of making an actually undetectable agent, but doesn't seem like any exist yet.

so, i found out why foil detects all the bypass products and the others fail badly:

it costs $0.05 per bot check


i guess more people should use foil...big recaptcha, cloudflare challenge/turnstyle etc is 95+% bypassed, take your bets on how long this new cloudflare holds out
