chromiumfish: A stealth Chromium build with a drop-in Playwright harness for Python and Node

SMRTR summary

ChromiumFish is a fingerprint-hardened Chromium fork that spoofs browser identity at the C++ engine level rather than through JavaScript patches, making it invisible to tampering detectors. It integrates directly with Playwright via simple pip or npm installs, letting you assign stable personas via a seed string. Built by a developer frustrated with JS-based stealth browsers getting caught at scale.
