A developer has created an open-source stealth browser, dubbed Fortress, to help AI agents like Claude process web content more efficiently and bypass anti-bot measures. The tool recompiles Chromium to clean up raw HTML, reducing token usage for pages like Wikipedia from tens of thousands to a few thousand. Fortress also aims to overcome challenges with JavaScript-rendered content and website blocks that often prevent AI agents from accessing information, though it still faces limitations with sophisticated anti-bot systems.
