## Briefing
- ScrapingBee: ScrapingBee released a tutorial explaining how to avoid triggering CAPTCHAs when using Selenium in Ruby by reducing automation signals and using better IPs.

## Why it matters
This guide reinforces a key principle in web scraping: prevention is more effective than reaction. By focusing on avoiding CAPTCHA triggers rather than solving them, practitioners can save time and reduce complexity. It also highlights the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between scrapers and anti-bot systems, where stealth and proxy quality remain critical.
