DevTools Runtime serialization is not active
Check id runtime-enable-leak
What an ordinary browser yields
No stack read without an attached Runtime client.
What a detector infers
An attached DevTools Runtime domain serialises console arguments and reads an Error stack accessor. Human DevTools does the same, so this is contextual and unscored.
How to resolve it
Detach Runtime.enable when unnecessary.

main-world-executionAn early DOM canary records main-world calls, but page code and extensions can also call it, so this is contextual. - No exposed Puppeteer / Playwright binding

csp-bypassThe audit excludes data: scripts. Execution despite script-src is direct CSP-bypass behavior. - window.chrome present for a Chrome UA

Clearcote is a browser built for fingerprint coherence
It is a Chromium fork, maintained by the same people who wrote this reference. It ships as a compiled browser rather than as a stealth script injected into someone else's — which is a description of how it is built, and is not an argument about how it behaves on this check.
This audit takes no position on how Clearcote scores on Automation surface checks, on this one, or anywhere else. It has no baseline corpus of other people's fingerprints to rank you against and no vendor scoreboard — nearly every check is self-referential, asking one browser the same question through two independent APIs and reporting whether both answers can be true at once. It runs identically on any browser, including ours. Run it on yours and read the result yourself.
