## What it is
A Python library that provides an antidetect, stealth-patched Firefox build for Playwright, with fingerprints set at the C++ engine level and humanized mouse/input behavior. It is a drop-in replacement for Playwright's Firefox launcher aimed at evading bot detection systems like Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA, and hCaptcha.

## Use cases
- scrape websites protected by cloudflare
- bypass recaptcha in automated browsing
- run undetected headless browser for web scraping
- avoid bot detection with playwright
- rotate browser fingerprints per session
- automate browser tasks without getting blocked
- crawl sites that block headless browsers

## When to choose
- you already use Playwright and need stealth against anti-bot systems
- you want an open-source free alternative to paid antidetect browsers
- you need consistent headless/headed fingerprints in Firefox
- your scraping targets use Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA, or hCaptcha challenges

## When to avoid
- you need macOS support, which is no longer available
- you use Chromium or Selenium rather than Playwright Firefox
- your blocks are IP-based and you lack quality proxies
- you need a fully maintained stable API for production-critical systems given the small project size
