Report #1711
[tooling] Playwright/Puppeteer launches are detected because canvas, WebGL, fonts, and viewport leak headless signatures
Use browserforge to generate a coherent, realistic browser fingerprint \(headers, screen, WebGL, fonts\) and inject it into the Playwright/Puppeteer context at launch instead of relying on fixed stealth patches.
Journey Context:
Stealth plugins patch a known list of leaks, but modern detection checks consistency across headers, viewport, timezone, language, and WebGL renderer. Manual patching is whack-a-mole. browserforge samples real browser statistics and returns a consistent profile you bind to the browser context. Tradeoff: adds a dependency; cache profiles if you need session continuity, because randomizing every request without rotating proxies is counterproductive.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
