requestInterception enabled causes puppeteer to be detected as bot

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: 2.0.0
• Platform / OS version: MacOS 10.14.5
• URLs (if applicable):
• Node.js version: v10.8.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Please include code that reproduces the issue.

1. Running puppeteer with headless: false on a url with PerimeterX protection seems to work fine
2. Enabling setRequestInterception causes puppeteer to go to captcha page because page is detecting it as bot. No matter what file type i’m intercepting, or even continuing every request, it will lead to captcha page.
3. Disabling it will get html without problems.

This is my code to test request interception

await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', (request) => {
 request.continue();
});

Also tried this code with same result

await page.setRequestInterception(true);
  page.on('request', request => {
    if (request.resourceType() === 'image')
      request.abort();
    else
      request.continue();
  });

I have built a wrapper/framework on top of puppeteer to solve these kinds of issues: https://nicoandmee.github.io/puppeteer-theater/ check it out if interested.

Your linked was removed. Do you have a trick to avoid this ?
