Shop for cars on websites with a browser agent
The poster uses Muse to shop for cars online and finds a persistent logged-in browser profile with normal pacing works best as sites start blocking it.
Done withMeta Muse
- What they did
- The poster had Muse browse car-shopping sites for them, but says sites that had worked started flagging or blocking it as a bot. In the comments, one person says what still works for them is giving the agent a persistent, logged-in browser profile for each site with real cookies and having it move at a normal pace, because fresh headless sessions get flagged quickly.
- How it went
- It was useful for browsing car listings until at least Cars.com began blocking the agent. The thread offers a workaround idea, but no performance numbers or fully reliable fix.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch is durability: a fresh headless browser context may get flagged within a day, so persistence and slower pacing mattered most in the comments.
Try it yourself with Meta Muse
Shop for a used [make/model/year range] near [city or zip] on [car sites], with a budget of [max price] and under [mileage] miles. Use a persistent logged-in browser profile and pace your clicks like a normal person so sites don't block you. Finish with a shortlist of 5 to 8 listings with price, mileage, and links; don't contact any seller or submit any forms without showing me first.
