Does remote debugging port itself get detected, or does the presence of a webdriver connection to the port get detected? I believe it's the latter.

I've had success launching the browser and using dumb dumb methods to get around the captcha before attaching playwright.

Dumb dumb methods = wmctrl, xdotool, bash (work fine for Cloudflare's "are you human" check)

I think it's the latter, and that's why I think using a "normal" non-debug browser is the best idea because it's essentially undetectable. And for the record, you can technically control Chromium using IPC if you feel like adding that feature & fully rebuilding it from scratch.
