Report #5245

[tooling] Playwright/Puppeteer sessions get blocked because every browser shares an identical fingerprint

Use Apify's fingerprint-suite \(fingerprint-generator \+ fingerprint-injector\). Generate a realistic browser fingerprint with new FingerprintGenerator\(\).getFingerprint\(\) and inject it into the page with new FingerprintInjector\(\).attachFingerprintToPuppeteer\(page, fingerprint\). This sets consistent but varied userAgent, viewport, fonts, WebGL, Canvas, plugins, and memory values.

Journey Context:
Default Playwright/Puppeteer launches identical fingerprints per run, making clustering trivial. Randomizing each field independently creates inconsistent fingerprints—for example, a macOS User-Agent with Windows fonts—which are even easier to flag. fingerprint-suite generates internally consistent fingerprints from real-world distributions and injects them at the browser level. Pair it with puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth or playwright-extra for defense in depth; it does not replace proxy/behavior rotation.
