Summary

Removes four bullets that describe Kernel browsers in terms of evading bot detection or solving a named vendor's challenge.

changelog.mdx

  • July 31 — "Added support for solving PerimeterX / HUMAN "Press & Hold" challenges..."
  • April 3 — "Enhanced browser stealth with additional evasion techniques."
  • February 27 — "Introduced human-like Bezier curve mouse movements ... that better evade bot detection."

browsers/bot-detection/stealth.mdx

  • The tip under Cloudflare challenge telling you not to click the Cloudflare CAPTCHA checkbox so the solver can work.

Deletions only; no surrounding copy was rewritten. The kernel.sh /changelog page renders this same file, so it picks up the changelog removals on its next revalidate.

Not included

The stealth page's second feature bullet — "Automatic CAPTCHA solver — solves reCAPTCHAs, Cloudflare challenges, and similar tests automatically" — is still there. It's the page's definition of what stealth mode adds, and deleting it alone contradicts the rest of the page ("two managed services", "Both are opt-out", the "Bring your own proxy or CAPTCHA solver" and "CAPTCHA handling behavior" sections), plus the same claim appears in browsers/telemetry/pausing-for-captcha-solves.mdx. That's a page rewrite rather than a bullet removal, so it's left for a follow-up decision.

Low Risk
Documentation-only deletions with no product or API behavior changes.

Overview
Trims public docs that framed Kernel as evading bot detection or solving vendor-specific challenges, without rewriting surrounding copy.

In changelog.mdx, three historical product bullets are removed: July 31 PerimeterX/HUMAN “Press & Hold” solving, April 3 “enhanced browser stealth” evasion, and February 27 Bezier mouse movements “to evade bot detection.” In browsers/bot-detection/stealth.mdx, the Cloudflare challenge tip warning users not to click the CAPTCHA checkbox after the solver’s “Ready” message is removed.

Stealth mode’s broader CAPTCHA solver description and other bot-detection wording elsewhere are unchanged in this PR.

Drops three changelog bullets that describe Kernel browsers in terms of
evading bot detection or solving a named vendor's challenges, and the
stealth-page tip about not clicking the Cloudflare checkbox.
