Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping Playwright or Puppeteer is straightforward, creating a truly undetectable stealth Chromium build requires modifying and compiling Chromium source code to patch low-level bot detection heuristics.
What it would actually take: A true stealth browser requires custom C++ patches in Chromium source to spoof CDP artifacts, WebGL/Canvas fingerprints, navigator properties, audio contexts, and TLS/JA3 fingerprints without breaking compatibility. The engineering involves setting up multi-gigabyte Chromium build pipelines (depot_tools, ninja) and continuous reverse-engineering of anti-bot solutions like Cloudflare and DataDome. This demands systems-level browser engineering rather than surface-level script injections.
Discussion
4 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Playwright, camoufox
Concerns raised: holds up against Cloudflare's latest checks beyond basic fingerprinting, timing canvas operations and rendering pipeline inconsistencies detection
Feature requests: testing against real-world bot detection beyond smoke tests
