Our take
Self-hosted Rust binary for web search, extraction, and stateful browser automation with explicit anti-bot bypass (CDP rendering, proxy rotation, human-in-the-loop CAPTCHA solving). Technically substantial and honestly documented, but its headline capability — defeating Cloudflare/DataDome and scraping auth-walled sites — violates most target sites' ToS, so treat it as a liability decision, not just a tool choice. Note the project has been rebranded to CortexScout (repo renamed cortex-scout) and last push was ~a month ago. For self-hosters doing research scraping who accept the legal exposure.
