## Unsupported Websites

There are some websites that are not supported by Kernel browsers due to their restrictions around automation and associated bot detection. These include:

- LinkedIn
- Facebook
- Instagram
- X (Twitter)
- Amazon
- Reddit
Some websites deploy bot detection aggressive enough that reliable automation isn't feasible today — even with stealth mode, residential proxies, and persistent profiles. The list below is incomplete and reflects what we've seen in practice.

Effectively unscrapable at the moment. Expect login walls, rapid CAPTCHA gates, and device-level fingerprinting that doesn't yield to residential exits or stealth defaults.

- **LinkedIn**
- **Facebook**
- **Instagram**

### Hard

Sometimes workable with the right combination of stealth mode, persistent profiles, and residential proxies, but expect frequent friction and rate-limiting.

- **X (Twitter)**
- **Amazon**
- **Reddit**
