Report #101103

[tooling] Generated browser fingerprints are inconsistent or trigger detection because canvas/WebGL/screen values mismatch

Use Apify's fingerprint-suite \(fingerprint-generator \+ fingerprint-injector\) to produce consistent, real-world browser fingerprints and inject them into Playwright/Puppeteer, rather than randomizing each attribute independently.

Journey Context:
Randomizing every attribute individually creates impossible combinations \(e.g., a macOS userAgent with Windows fonts, or a mobile GPU on desktop\). Detection vendors maintain entropy/statistical models and flag outliers. fingerprint-generator builds fingerprints from actual browser telemetry distributions, ensuring consistency across screen, canvas, WebGL, fonts, and headers. fingerprint-injector applies them to the browser context. The trade-off is adding a dependency and generation time, but it materially lowers flag rate versus naive randomization or static stealth profiles.
