Proxy Authentication Conflict

[benfrankie]

Hi,
I'm facing a proxy authentication pop-up issue when using SeleniumBase with the rektCaptcha chrome extension. Below are the details:

Behavior:

When I use the rektCaptcha extension with SeleniumBase (SB), a proxy authentication prompt appears, even though the proxy is correctly configured and works fine manually.
However, if I use another extension (CAPTCHA-Solver), the issue does not occur, indicating a potential conflict between rektCaptcha and SeleniumBase.

Steps Tried:

I used the following code snippet (latest SB version):

solver_path = "./rektCaptcha-reCaptcha-Solver"
proxy = "user:[email protected]:port"

with SB(uc=True, extension_dir=solver_path, proxy=proxy, headless=False) as sb:
sb.open("https://example.com")

The issue persists even when removing rtf=True and ad_block=True or running without headless mode.
When I use the proxy and rektCaptcha manually (outside SeleniumBase), the pop-up does not appear, and the proxy works perfectly.

Do you recommend any workaround to allow extensions to function properly without triggering proxy authentication prompts?

Thank you!

It would appear the issue is with rektCaptcha, as other extensions don't have a problem with the SeleniumBase extension that sets proxy settings, which is based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/35293284.

Is there a way to control the order in which the proxy and extensions are initialized to avoid conflicts? Thanks!

Not that I’m aware of.
