Report #271

[tooling] How do I generate consistent, realistic browser fingerprints for Playwright or Selenium instead of hard-coding headers?

Use browserforge to generate coherent navigator, screen, and header fingerprints, then apply them consistently across your HTTP requests and browser context \(e.g., page.setExtraHTTPHeaders plus matching viewport and user-agent override\).

Journey Context:
Randomizing headers independently is a detection signal: real browsers have correlated values \(user-agent, sec-ch-ua, platform, screen resolution, fonts, WebGL vendor\). browserforge models the joint distribution of real browser fingerprints so your headless instance looks coherent. The mistake is changing user-agent without updating sec-ch-ua or viewport, which creates mismatches that bot detectors score highly.
