I’ve been wanting to use browser automation to track private twitter accounts that I already follow, since the API obviously won't cut it. My main concern with this browser's automation features is account safety—how well does it mask itself? I'm worried it might trigger the platform's anti-bot detection and get my account flagged or banned :(

smart move, when I was using agent browser,I have to watch it execute commands one by one, it’s really inefficient. using JS code to execute all commands at once is smart.

Why javascript ?

I've tried this with my own x scenario, it works fine.
