Because reasons i don't remember, I ended up doing all my scraping through Firefox (i think it was easier to make PDFs?). Is there something like this that works for running (non-headless) Firefox?

A bit weird to suggest NameCheap for domains when Cloudflare also sells domains, and spesifically only charge you the registrar fee for the domain.

I understand that "with/in your web browser" implies a extention or simmilar, but i have good experience using Selenium and Python to scrape websites. Some sites are trickier than others, and when you are instrumenting a browser it easily triggers bot prevention, but you are also able to easily scrape pages that build the DOM using JS and simmilar. I have considered, but not looked into compiling my own Firefox to disable i.e. navigator.webdriver, but it feels a bit to much work.

Does this way to write an implementation have a name?

As other comments have mentioned - they do not want to decompile the source, they want a clean-room-implementation.

It is a good explanation of what is happening. However, I think that many of not most Python linters will warn you about this. It is perfectly valid, and something you might actually want, so it should not throw an error.

Could this solution be extended with a openssl pipe to offer encryption?
