Notes
Enable this feature when:
- Navigating sites with bot protection based on behavioral analysis.
- Clicking buttons, filling out forms, or interacting with content.
- Needing more human-like scraping sessions.
This is ideal for interacting naturally with advanced bot-detection systems like those used on login forms, checkout pages, or gated content behind interaction-based verification. The feature uses actual recorded patterns instead of fully random coordinates.
