Developer builds stealth browser to help AI agents process web content

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.
