Haven't heard of / seen camoufox; makes sense to detect browsers by running a modified firefox that renders things like WebGL/Canvas and makes it incredibly hard to stop them.

This coupled with advanced proxy lists, which is what AI companies, or rather just random scrapers will go for if they're blocked and charged.

They want the data for free.
