Hi, when running this code on Linux (Ubuntu 25.10): Page will detect chrome as being in incognito despite being a normal window: 
As opposed to the same code being run on Windows: 
And the browser going to the same page manually without using Seleniumbase on Linux: 
Is there a way to make it not be detected as an incognito window in UC mode on Linux? |

Try this script: from seleniumbase import SB
with SB(uc=True, test=True) as sb:
url = "https://pixelscan.net/fingerprint-check"
sb.activate_cdp_mode(url)
sb.remove_element("#headerBanner")
sb.wait_for_element("pxlscn-dynamic-ad")
sb.sleep(0.5)
sb.remove_elements("pxlscn-dynamic-ad")
sb.sleep(2)
sb.assert_text("No masking detected", "pxlscn-fingerprint-masking")
sb.assert_text("No automated behavior", "pxlscn-bot-detection")
sb.cdp.highlight('span:contains("is consistent")')
sb.sleep(1)
sb.cdp.highlight("pxlscn-fingerprint-masking p")
sb.sleep(1)
sb.cdp.highlight("pxlscn-bot-detection p")
sb.sleep(2)

Do your results improve when using the Pure CDP Mode format? from seleniumbase import sb_cdp
url = "https://pixelscan.net/fingerprint-check"
sb = sb_cdp.Chrome(url, ad_block=True)
breakpoint() |

It might just be the response when running from any Linux machine. The stealth is working on real sites. |
