Could you build this?
No Stealth browser infrastructure for autonomous agents requires bypassing sophisticated bot-detection mechanisms (Cloudflare, Akamai, Datadome), managing residential proxy pools, and modifying browser binaries (Chromium CDP patching).
What it would actually take: A real stealth browser platform requires custom-patched Chromium binaries to eliminate automation artifacts (fingerprints, navigator.webdriver, WebGL quirks), dynamic residential proxy rotation, and real-time CAPTCHA-solving pipelines. It demands reverse-engineering anti-bot systems, kernel/network-level fingerprint spoofing, and dedicated infrastructure engineering.
