Fortress: a stealth Chromium build to keep browser agents from getting blocked

Fortress: a stealth Chromium build to keep browser agents from getting blocked

Hacker News Show HN·17h·arhamshahrier

Fortress is an open-source, hardened Chromium fork designed to evade bot-detection systems that routinely block automated browsers. For indie makers building web scraping tools, AI agents, or browser automation pipelines, fingerprinting blocks are a constant pain point — Fortress targets that problem at the browser level rather than patching around it in userland. It's an early-stage project, but the GitHub release signals growing maker interest in infrastructure that makes headless browsing more reliable.
