Oh i can definitely see custom browsers being useful in that area. I remember the JavaScript navigator properties were always such a PITA as there was nothing you could really do to get around what they exposed

Same tbh

Can it run doom?

During my first (shitty) job as a dev outta school, they had me writing scrapers. I was actually able to subvert it pretty easily using this package that doesn’t appear to be maintained anymore https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper

Was pretty surprised to learn that, at the time, they were only checking if JS was enabled, especially since CF is the gold standard for this sort of stuff. I’m sure this has changed?

Small companies use CF as well. It really is one of the best ways to prevent all sorts of bad actors

Thanks for sharing!
