Hi,

"other than that, there is no way to detect that there is nobody sitting in front of the browser"

As I mentioned in CB to Discipulus, my experience is that sadly, websites go to great and effective lengths to detect that very thing. Some specific things I have encountered that forced me to use Selenium::Remote::Driver to drive the browser:

Filling in a form field too fast (ie simply pasting/setting the value. Needed to add delay between keystrokes)
An invisible modal overlaid above the content (the form field is still in the DOM, but a human user has to click once to clear the modal and then into the form field)
Filling in a form field that is deliberately located "below the fold" (i.e. off screen, necessitating a human user to scroll the window)

Hope this helps!

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
