Is there a way to prevent non-incognito windows being detected as incognito on Linux?

[C-J-Astbury]

Hi, when running this code on Linux (Ubuntu 25.10):

from seleniumbase import Driver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time

driver = Driver(uc=True)

driver.get("https://pixelscan.net/fingerprint-check")

print(driver.title)

time.sleep(300)

driver.quit()

Page will detect chrome as being in incognito despite being a normal window:

As opposed to the same code being run on Windows:

And the browser going to the same page manually without using Seleniumbase on Linux:

Is there a way to make it not be detected as an incognito window in UC mode on Linux?

Try this script:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True, test=True) as sb:
    url = "https://pixelscan.net/fingerprint-check"
    sb.activate_cdp_mode(url)
    sb.remove_element("#headerBanner")
    sb.wait_for_element("pxlscn-dynamic-ad")
    sb.sleep(0.5)
    sb.remove_elements("pxlscn-dynamic-ad")
    sb.sleep(2)
    sb.assert_text("No masking detected", "pxlscn-fingerprint-masking")
    sb.assert_text("No automated behavior", "pxlscn-bot-detection")
    sb.cdp.highlight('span:contains("is consistent")')
    sb.sleep(1)
    sb.cdp.highlight("pxlscn-fingerprint-masking p")
    sb.sleep(1)
    sb.cdp.highlight("pxlscn-bot-detection p")
    sb.sleep(2)

I have a VPN on. Still get the issue without it though.

Running Linux on a Mini PC I have.

Do your results improve when using the Pure CDP Mode format?

from seleniumbase import sb_cdp

url = "https://pixelscan.net/fingerprint-check"
sb = sb_cdp.Chrome(url, ad_block=True)

breakpoint()

Still getting the same issue

It might just be the response when running from any Linux machine. The stealth is working on real sites.

Well thank you for time then.
