Unblocking Browser for Scalable Web Scraping

Unblocking Browser is a perfect solution for web scraping projects that require browser scalability, website unblocking, and browser automation. 
There are various options for headless browsers, depending on your use cases and familiarity with certain software.

Unblocking Browser works with any library that supports the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). This includes:

• Playwright

• Puppeteer

• Other CDP-compatible automation frameworks

Yes, Unblocking Browser works with Chrome and Firefox.

Unblocking Browser integrates with Model Control Protocol (MCP) to enable AI systems like Claude to control browsers directly. This allows AI assistants in applications like Claude Desktop and Cursor to perform web navigation, data extraction, and automation tasks using our remote browser infrastructure with built-in anti-detection features.

Manual changes like enabling scripts or adjusting privacy settings can help, but for advanced tasks like scraping, Oxylabs’ Unblocking Browser is more effective. It mimics real-user behavior, bypasses blocks, solves CAPTCHAs, and supports automation through tools like Playwright, Puppeteer, and AI control via Model Control Protocol (MCP). 

Reduce blocking by rotating IPs, clearing cookies, slowing request rates, and mimicking normal user behavior. Additionally, use headless browsers with stealth settings to bypass bot detection systems. Tools like Oxylabs’ Unblocking Browser combine these tactics with proxy use and CAPTCHA-solving for scalable, reliable access. But, if you prefer manual configuration, check out our blog post on setting up a proxy in Firefox to get step-by-step instructions for custom setups or you could take a look at our Chrome Proxy Extension.
