would a Firefox-based stealth fetcher plugin be in scope? structured as a separate pypi package similar to changedetection.io-cloak-browser, installed via EXTRA_PACKAGES, appearing in the Fetch Method dropdown.
backend exists and works today: feder-cr/invisible_firefox (MPL-2, patches at the C++ source level so there are no JS shims to detect). the missing piece is the plugin glue + a
servemode in feder-cr/invisible_playwright, which i'd build if there's appetite.context: #4141 just broke the existing cloak fetcher, #3645 has been open asking for native Playwright Firefox, #2198 on bot detection is still open.
this PR only adds a stub docs page so the proposal has somewhere concrete to land. tracking discussion: #4187
if the answer is "not in scope" i'll close it without noise.
