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

The Two Profiles

ProfileDescription
liteStandard Chromium browser
stealthModified 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

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

Limitations

Stealth mode helps bypass detection but has limits:
LimitationNotes
CAPTCHAsCannot solve reCAPTCHA or similar challenges
Infinite scrollMay not scroll to load all content automatically
Login persistenceEach 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"
  }
}
