Report #103041
[tooling] Playwright-driven Chromium is detected via CDP leaks, JS injection traces, or headless pointer artifacts
Replace Chromium with Camoufox \(\`pip install camoufox\`; use \`from camoufox.sync\_api import Camoufox\`\). It is a patched Firefox build with C\+\+-level fingerprint injection, an isolated Juggler/Playwright page agent, and bundled browserforge fingerprint generation.
Journey Context:
Most stealth approaches inject JavaScript into the page to patch \`navigator.webdriver\`, fonts, WebGL, etc.—all detectable via property descriptors, prototype inspection, or timing analysis. Camoufox compiles Firefox from source and intercepts fingerprint data at the C\+\+ implementation level, so page JavaScript cannot see the modification. It also sandboxes Playwright's page agent to avoid \`window.\_\_playwright\_\_binding\_\_\` leaks. Trade-off: Firefox-only, so sites requiring Chromium-specific behavior may fail; heavier than pure HTTP clients. Use it when JS challenges or page interaction are mandatory, not for simple fetch workloads.
