Amazon and others want to block your agents.

After his agent ran into problems shopping on Amazon Mexico, Andrew explored alternative ways to keep it working. In this episode, he demonstrates each tool, explains how to get started, and compares running a browser on your own computer with using a hosted service.

Andrew shares three tools he’s tested to help AI agents access websites that block them: Camoufox, Browserbase, and AgentWeb.

You’ll see what worked, what stopped working, and the tradeoffs around cost, passwords, and computer resources. Andrew also explains why he keeps multiple options ready when a site blocks one approach.
