## What it is
A self-hosted anti-detection browser server for AI agents, wrapping the Camoufox Firefox fork that spoofs fingerprints at the C++ level. It exposes a REST API with accessibility snapshots, stable element refs, and session isolation as a drop-in alternative to Puppeteer/Playwright for scraping sites with bot protection.

## Use cases
- scrape websites that block headless browsers
- bypass Cloudflare bot detection for AI agents
- give an LLM agent a stealth browsing tool
- automate logins with cookie import and session isolation
- run a low-memory headless browser on a VPS or Raspberry Pi
- route scraping traffic through residential proxies with geo-matching

## When to choose
- you need to access sites with Cloudflare or anti-bot protection from an AI agent
- you want token-efficient accessibility snapshots instead of raw HTML
- you need a drop-in replacement for Playwright/Puppeteer that evades fingerprinting
- you want a lightweight browser service sharing infrastructure with other tools

## When to avoid
- you only need simple scraping of sites without bot protection
- you need full Puppeteer/Playwright API compatibility rather than a REST interface
- your use case violates the target sites' terms of service or local laws
- you need a managed cloud service rather than self-hosting
