Unblocking Browser for AI Agents & Advanced Automation

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.

You can try changing some settings in your regular browser to get around basic restrictions. For example, make sure JavaScript is enabled, lower overly strict privacy or tracking protection settings, allow cookies, and clear your cache regularly. These small tweaks can sometimes help with simple access issues, like when a page isn’t loading correctly or a feature doesn’t work.

For tougher situations, such as websites that actively block automated traffic, Oxylabs’ Unblocking Browser is a better option. It looks and feels like a regular browser but is built to bypass restrictions automatically. It can skip CAPTCHAs, avoid detection by behaving like a real user, and it integrates smoothly with automation tools like Playwright, Puppeteer, or even AI control through Model Control Protocol (MCP).

There are a few steps you can take to reduce blocking. Rotating your IP address helps prevent sites from recognizing repeated visits. Clearing cookies and cache removes tracking data that might flag your activity. Slowing down request rates and browsing at a more natural pace can also make you look less like a bot. Finally, using a headless browser with stealth settings can help you slip past basic detection systems.

For more advanced cases, Oxylabs’ Unblocking Browser combines all of these techniques with proxy support and automatic CAPTCHA bypassing, giving you a more reliable and scalable solution.

If you prefer a manual setup, you can configure your browser to use proxies directly. For example, setting up a proxy in Firefox lets you route your traffic through different IP addresses, making it harder for websites to block you based on location or repeated requests. If you use Chrome, the Chrome Proxy Extension provides a simpler, click-to-connect way to manage and switch between proxies without digging into browser settings.

Unblocking Browser automatically bypasses CAPTCHAs when a page loads. Supported CAPTCHA types include hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA, and Cloudflare Turnstile. Whether they appear when a page loads, in a popup, or after a form submission, the browser seamlessly handles them in the background.
