Has anyone here used n8n with anti-detect browsers like Hidemium for automating web tasks?

Hey everyone :waving_hand:

I’ve been building a few no-code automation workflows using n8n, and one of the key challenges I’m running into is browser automation at scale — especially when it comes to multi-account workflows and fragile websites.

Puppeteer and Playwright are great, but they tend to break easily when the site layout or selectors change (which happens a lot). Also, most headless solutions get flagged on certain sites that do deep fingerprinting.

So recently, I started experimenting with anti-detect browsers like Hidemium, which allow me to:

  • Run multiple isolated browser profiles with different fingerprints/IPs
  • Use natural-language prompt scripts (instead of hardcoding selectors)
  • Control sessions via API or script triggers

I’m wondering:

  • Has anyone here used Hidemium or similar tools with n8n?
  • How do you handle the handoff between n8n and browser-level actions (like login, scraping, etc.)?
  • Any tips on logging, chaining results, or handling failures gracefully?

The dream setup for me is:

  • n8n triggers → sends prompt or task → browser does the UI interaction → sends results/logs back → n8n continues the flow.

Curious if others are combining these kinds of tools and what your experience has been like. Open to better suggestions too!

Thanks in advance :folded_hands:

Instead of doing the browser work inside n8n, you can keep that part separate. Let n8n send a webhook or HTTP request to a script or server where Hidemium is running. That browser does the login or scraping. Once it’s done, it sends the result or log back to n8n through another webhook or API call. This makes things easier to manage and fix if something breaks.

Let me know if this helps

One thing that helped me: in Hidemium create a “template” profile with all your default headers, timezone, WebGL settings, then clone it via API for each run. That way you don’t rebuild every fingerprint from scratch. n8n can loop over a list of account credentials and clone+run in parallel.

Yes, exactly — separating browser execution from n8n helps a lot with debugging and scaling. I’ve been doing something similar: using n8n just to orchestrate and then sending tasks to Hidemium via API calls.

The bonus is that each browser profile runs independently, so if one task fails (e.g., login error or DOM change), it doesn’t affect the whole flow.

Have you tried passing dynamic prompts from n8n into the browser layer? That’s something I’m exploring now — would love to hear if you’ve set that up.

yes, i do. But with airtop block of nodes
