Kitesurf: Agent-first browser that runs in V8 isolates

From the page https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/ linked to from this article:

> Run headless Chrome on Cloudflare's global network for browser automation, web scraping, testing, and content generation.

Does Cloudflare the CDN allow these browser instances to bypass their own anti-bot mechanisms? Or will Cloudflare the CDN block them the same as if someone was running scraping bots from a different provider?

Will Kitesurf in Cloudflare workers get special bypass privileges to content protected by Cloudflare the CDN?

No it doesn't and it's simply useless. They have been trying to enable publishers to charge scrapers so that's why they're pushing this path hard.

This is built on top of Blitz (https://github.com/dioxuslabs/blitz): a new modular (open source) browser engine that I've been building for the last 2.5 years.

(I wasn't involved in building kitesurf, but I am informed that they intend to open source and upstream their patches)
