Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The poster had Muse browse car-shopping sites for them, but says sites that had worked started flagging or blocking it as a bot. In the comments, one person says what still works for them is giving the agent a persistent, logged-in browser profile for each site with real cookies and having it move at a normal pace, because fresh headless sessions get flagged quickly.

  2. How it went

    It was useful for browsing car listings until at least Cars.com began blocking the agent. The thread offers a workaround idea, but no performance numbers or fully reliable fix.

  3. Worth knowing

    The main catch is durability: a fresh headless browser context may get flagged within a day, so persistence and slower pacing mattered most in the comments.

Example prompts

Try with Meta Muse
Shop for a used [make/model/year range] near [city or zip] on [car sites], with a budget of [max price] and under [mileage] miles. Use a persistent logged-in browser profile and pace your clicks like a normal person so sites don't block you. Finish with a shortlist of 5 to 8 listings with price, mileage, and links; don't contact any seller or submit any forms without showing me first.
