Cool (and congrats on the demo)! Sounds like a promising approach. I work on browser use agents and one of the most difficult problems now is bot detection. Curious if you know how this impacts bot detection/fingerprinting?
Thank you! Yeah, the current implementation basically performs the same as a Docker container (i.e. not much). The interface is the same, so you can use BU/Playwright/Puppeteer's header configs to change as needed.
We did notice the unikernel cloud instances don't run into bot detection as often as our hosted docker instances, but I think that's mostly because Cloudflare haven't flagged Unikraft Cloud's IPs yet, hah.
Why detect "bots" when you can block them using captchas/proof-of-work solutions. Curious to know your use case for detecting bots.
I feel like their use case it's the other way around: avoid being detected as a bot.
Yes
