Ghostfox
The agent-native stealth browser you can own.

AI agents get blocked. Headless Chrome triggers Cloudflare 403s on ~20% of the web, and hosted "stealth browsers" route your agent's cookies, identities and sessions through someone else's cloud.
Ghostfox is the alternative: a complete browser stack you run yourself — a fingerprint-coherent stealth engine plus a Rust MCP runtime, in one repo.
Firefox (MPL-2.0)
└─ Camoufox (anti-detect patches, by daijro)
└─ Ghostfox engine engine/ — spoofing at the C++ level
└─ Ghostfox runtime runtime/ — Rust: sessions, identities, MCPEyes for agents — pagea11y. One call returns every visible interactive element with a stable ref, semantic role, accessible name, live value — piercing shadow DOM and same-origin iframes, so web-component UIs (Reddit, modern frameworks) are fully visible. The snapshot also reports loginstate (logged-in / logged-out / unknown), page URL and title — agents check session health before acting, not after failing.
Agents act by ref: pageclickref e38, pagetyperef e21 "text" — no CSS selectors needed. Rich editors (Lexical, Draft, ProseMirror) are handled via editor-native input paths with fire-then-verify receipts. pagewaitfor replaces manual sleeps. pagereadref gives full untruncated values. pageuploadfile bypasses native file pickers.
Android personas too — session_create {"platform": "android"} gives portrait screens, Adreno/Mali GPUs, Android font stacks and Firefox-on-Android UAs, all audited like desktop identities (500/500 coherent, see runtime/docs).
One identity, no contradictions. Identities are generated from coherent device presets (platform, screen, GPU, fonts that actually ship together), injected at the engine level, and audited before use — a spoofed browser's worst enemy is itself saying "4 cores on a MacBook".
