Chrome API Stub

Detection approach

window.chrome object structure depth check failed. chrome.loadTimes().requestTime is 0 or missing, or chrome.runtime.id did not throw the expected extension context error. This indicates a shallow window.chrome stub created by automation stealth evasion plugins trying to fool basic existence checks.

How this helps detect bots

This signal is assessed with other independent session, browser, and network evidence. A single anomaly is a lead, not a verdict; corroborating anomalies make automated traffic more likely.

Legitimate traffic to consider

None. Standard Chrome installations always expose complete window.chrome structures.
