## What it is
Stealth is a secure, privacy-focused web browser, scraper, and proxy built in JavaScript that emphasizes automation, bandwidth efficiency, and peer-to-peer resource sharing. It combines ad-blocking, content optimization, DNS-over-HTTPS, and a p2p caching proxy network into a single self-hosted tool.

## Use cases
- scrape websites privately without being tracked
- run a self-hosted ad-blocking dns proxy
- browse the web with maximum privacy and minimal bandwidth
- share cached web content between trusted peers
- automate web browsing and data extraction
- use a socks or http proxy with built-in content filtering
- read websites offline with a persistent cache

## When to choose
- you need a privacy-hardened browser or scraper that blocks ads and trackers by default
- you want to reduce bandwidth via peer-to-peer cache sharing
- you need an automatable browser with semantic extraction features
- you want a single tool combining proxy, dns filtering, and scraping

## When to avoid
- you need full compatibility with modern browser features like extensions or webgl
- you want a mainstream browser for everyday use with normal site behavior
- you need a battle-tested scraper with a large ecosystem and community
