This uses Camoufox, an anti-detect browser with fingerprint spoofing at the C++ level. It handles JavaScript challenges, Turnstile, and most bot detection automatically.
On first run, Camoufox downloads a browser binary (~300MB).
Browser won't launch: Run python -c "import camoufox; camoufox.install()"
Cloudflare still blocking: Some sites have aggressive detection. The first visit may require manual verification.
axe-core won't inject: Likely a strict CSP. Try a different page on the same domain.
