Browser Profiles

Configure browser behavior for different sites

Browser profiles let you configure how TinyFish Web Agent’s browser behaves for different sites.

The Two Profiles

Profile	Description
lite	Standard Chromium browser
stealth	Modified browser with anti-detection

---

Lite (Default)

Use for standard websites without bot protection.

{
  url: "https://example.com",
  goal: "Extract product data",
  browser_profile: "lite"
}

Lite is the default. If you don’t specify a profile, TinyFish Web Agent uses lite.

---

Stealth

Use for sites with Cloudflare, DataDome, CAPTCHAs, or other bot protection.

{
  url: "https://protected-site.com",
  goal: "Extract product data",
  browser_profile: "stealth"
}

Stealth mode includes anti-fingerprinting techniques that help bypass detection systems.

When to Use Each

Use Lite

• Standard websites
• Internal tools and dashboards
• Sites you control
• When speed matters

Use Stealth

• Sites showing CAPTCHAs
• Getting “Access Denied” errors
• Sites behind Cloudflare or similar
• E-commerce sites with bot protection

---

Limitations

Stealth mode helps bypass detection but has limits:

Limitation	Notes
CAPTCHAs	Cannot solve reCAPTCHA or similar challenges
Infinite scroll	May not scroll to load all content automatically
Login persistence	Each run starts fresh, no session cookies carried over

---

Combining with Proxies

For maximum anti-detection, combine stealth mode with a proxy:

{
  url: "https://protected-site.com",
  goal: "Extract product data",
  browser_profile: "stealth",
  proxy_config: {
    enabled: true,
    country_code: "US"
  }
}

Learn more about proxies in the Proxies page.
