feat: add stealth mode and enhance undetected browser support

- Add playwright-stealth integration with enable_stealth parameter in BrowserConfig
- Merge undetected browser strategy into main async_crawler_strategy.py using adapter pattern
- Add browser adapters (BrowserAdapter, PlaywrightAdapter, UndetectedAdapter) for flexible browser switching
- Update install.py to install both playwright and patchright browsers automatically
- Add comprehensive documentation for anti-bot features (stealth mode + undetected browser)
- Create examples demonstrating stealth mode usage and comparison tests
- Update pyproject.toml and requirements.txt with patchright>=1.49.0 and other dependencies
- Remove duplicate/unused dependencies (alphashape, cssselect, pyperclip, shapely, selenium)
- Add dependency checker tool in tests/check_dependencies.py

Breaking changes: None - all existing functionality preserved

+## 7. Anti-Bot Features (Stealth Mode & Undetected Browser)
+
+Crawl4AI provides two powerful features to bypass bot detection:
+
+### 7.1 Stealth Mode
+
+Stealth mode uses playwright-stealth to modify browser fingerprints and behaviors. Enable it with a simple flag:
+
+```python
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+    enable_stealth=True,  # Activates stealth mode
+    headless=False
+)
+```
+
+**When to use**: Sites with basic bot detection (checking navigator.webdriver, plugins, etc.)
+
+### 7.2 Undetected Browser
+
+For advanced bot detection, use the undetected browser adapter:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import UndetectedAdapter
+from crawl4ai.async_crawler_strategy import AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
+
+# Create undetected adapter
+adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
+strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
+    browser_config=browser_config,
+    browser_adapter=adapter
+)
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(crawler_strategy=strategy, config=browser_config) as crawler:
+    # Your crawling code
+```
+
+**When to use**: Sites with sophisticated bot detection (Cloudflare, DataDome, etc.)
+
+### 7.3 Combining Both
+
+For maximum evasion, combine stealth mode with undetected browser:
+
+```python
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+    enable_stealth=True,  # Enable stealth
+    headless=False
+)
+
+adapter = UndetectedAdapter()  # Use undetected browser
+```
+
+### Choosing the Right Approach
+
+| Detection Level | Recommended Approach |
+|----------------|---------------------|
+| No protection | Regular browser |
+| Basic checks | Regular + Stealth mode |
+| Advanced protection | Undetected browser |
+| Maximum evasion | Undetected + Stealth mode |
+
+**Best Practice**: Start with regular browser + stealth mode. Only use undetected browser if needed, as it may be slightly slower.
+
+See [Undetected Browser Mode](undetected-browser.md) for detailed examples.

+# Undetected Browser Mode
+
+## Overview
+
+Crawl4AI offers two powerful anti-bot features to help you access websites with bot detection:
+
+1. **Stealth Mode** - Uses playwright-stealth to modify browser fingerprints and behaviors
+2. **Undetected Browser Mode** - Advanced browser adapter with deep-level patches for sophisticated bot detection
+
+This guide covers both features and helps you choose the right approach for your needs.
+
+## Anti-Bot Features Comparison
+
+| Feature | Regular Browser | Stealth Mode | Undetected Browser |
+|---------|----------------|--------------|-------------------|
+| WebDriver Detection | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Navigator Properties | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Plugin Emulation | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| CDP Detection | ❌ | Partial | ✅ |
+| Deep Browser Patches | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
+| Performance Impact | None | Minimal | Moderate |
+| Setup Complexity | None | None | Minimal |
+
+## When to Use Each Approach
+
+### Use Regular Browser + Stealth Mode When:
+- Sites have basic bot detection (checking navigator.webdriver, plugins, etc.)
+- You need good performance with basic protection
+- Sites check for common automation indicators
+
+### Use Undetected Browser When:
+- Sites employ sophisticated bot detection services (Cloudflare, DataDome, etc.)
+- Stealth mode alone isn't sufficient
+- You're willing to trade some performance for better evasion
+
+### Best Practice: Progressive Enhancement
+1. **Start with**: Regular browser + Stealth mode
+2. **If blocked**: Switch to Undetected browser
+3. **If still blocked**: Combine Undetected browser + Stealth mode
+
+## Stealth Mode
+
+Stealth mode is the simpler anti-bot solution that works with both regular and undetected browsers:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig
+
+# Enable stealth mode with regular browser
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+    enable_stealth=True,  # Simple flag to enable
+    headless=False       # Better for avoiding detection
+)
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
+    result = await crawler.arun("https://example.com")
+```
+
+### What Stealth Mode Does:
+- Removes `navigator.webdriver` flag
+- Modifies browser fingerprints
+- Emulates realistic plugin behavior
+- Adjusts navigator properties
+- Fixes common automation leaks
+
+## Undetected Browser Mode
+
+For sites with sophisticated bot detection that stealth mode can't bypass, use the undetected browser adapter:
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Drop-in Replacement**: Uses the same API as regular browser mode
+- **Enhanced Stealth**: Built-in patches to evade common detection methods
+- **Browser Adapter Pattern**: Seamlessly switch between regular and undetected modes
+- **Automatic Installation**: `crawl4ai-setup` installs all necessary browser dependencies
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from crawl4ai import (
+    AsyncWebCrawler, 
+    BrowserConfig, 
+    CrawlerRunConfig,
+    UndetectedAdapter
+)
+from crawl4ai.async_crawler_strategy import AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
+
+async def main():
+    # Create the undetected adapter
+    undetected_adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
+    
+    # Create browser config
+    browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+        headless=False,  # Headless mode can be detected easier
+        verbose=True,
+    )
+    
+    # Create the crawler strategy with undetected adapter
+    crawler_strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
+        browser_config=browser_config,
+        browser_adapter=undetected_adapter
+    )
+    
+    # Create the crawler with our custom strategy
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler(
+        crawler_strategy=crawler_strategy,
+        config=browser_config
+    ) as crawler:
+        # Your crawling code here
+        result = await crawler.arun(
+            url="https://example.com",
+            config=CrawlerRunConfig()
+        )
+        print(result.markdown[:500])
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+## Combining Both Features
+
+For maximum evasion, combine stealth mode with undetected browser:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig, UndetectedAdapter
+from crawl4ai.async_crawler_strategy import AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
+
+# Create browser config with stealth enabled
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+    enable_stealth=True,  # Enable stealth mode
+    headless=False
+)
+
+# Create undetected adapter
+adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
+
+# Create strategy with both features
+strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
+    browser_config=browser_config,
+    browser_adapter=adapter
+)
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(
+    crawler_strategy=strategy,
+    config=browser_config
+) as crawler:
+    result = await crawler.arun("https://protected-site.com")
+```
+
+## Examples

+    
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
+        result = await crawler.arun(
+            url="https://bot.sannysoft.com",
+            config=CrawlerRunConfig(screenshot=True)
+        )
+        
+        if result.success:
+            print("✓ Successfully accessed bot detection test site")
+            # Save screenshot to verify detection results
+            if result.screenshot:
+                import base64
+                with open("stealth_test.png", "wb") as f:

+
+## Browser Adapter Pattern
+
+The undetected browser support is implemented using an adapter pattern, allowing seamless switching between different browser implementations:
+
+```python
+# Regular browser adapter (default)
+from crawl4ai import PlaywrightAdapter
+regular_adapter = PlaywrightAdapter()
+
+# Undetected browser adapter
+from crawl4ai import UndetectedAdapter
+undetected_adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
+```
+
+The adapter handles:
+- JavaScript execution
+- Console message capture
+- Error handling
+- Browser-specific optimizations
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Avoid Headless Mode**: Detection is easier in headless mode
+   ```python
+   browser_config = BrowserConfig(headless=False)
+   ```
+
+2. **Use Reasonable Delays**: Don't rush through pages
+   ```python
+   crawler_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+       wait_time=3.0,  # Wait 3 seconds after page load
+       delay_before_return_html=2.0  # Additional delay
+   )
+   ```
+
+3. **Rotate User Agents**: You can customize user agents
+   ```python
+   browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+       headers={"User-Agent": "your-user-agent"}
+   )
+   ```
+
+4. **Handle Failures Gracefully**: Some sites may still detect and block
+   ```python
+   if not result.success:
+       print(f"Crawl failed: {result.error_message}")
+   ```
+
+## Advanced Usage Tips
+
+### Progressive Detection Handling
+
+```python
+async def crawl_with_progressive_evasion(url):
+    # Step 1: Try regular browser with stealth
+    browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+        enable_stealth=True,
+        headless=False
+    )
+    
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
+        result = await crawler.arun(url)
+        if result.success and "Access Denied" not in result.html:
+            return result
+    
+    # Step 2: If blocked, try undetected browser
+    print("Regular + stealth blocked, trying undetected browser...")
+    
+    adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
+    strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
+        browser_config=browser_config,
+        browser_adapter=adapter
+    )
+    
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler(
+        crawler_strategy=strategy,
+        config=browser_config
+    ) as crawler:
+        result = await crawler.arun(url)
+        return result
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+The undetected browser dependencies are automatically installed when you run:
+
+```bash
+crawl4ai-setup
+```
+
+This command installs all necessary browser dependencies for both regular and undetected modes.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- **Performance**: Slightly slower than regular mode due to additional patches
+- **Headless Detection**: Some sites can still detect headless mode
+- **Resource Usage**: May use more resources than regular mode
+- **Not 100% Guaranteed**: Advanced anti-bot services are constantly evolving
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Browser Not Found
+
+Run the setup command:
+```bash
+crawl4ai-setup
+```
+
+### Detection Still Occurring
+
+Try combining with other features:
+```python
+crawler_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    simulate_user=True,  # Add user simulation
+    magic=True,  # Enable magic mode
+    wait_time=5.0,  # Longer waits
+)
+```
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+If experiencing slow performance:
+```python
+# Use selective undetected mode only for protected sites
+if is_protected_site(url):
+    adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
+else:
+    adapter = PlaywrightAdapter()  # Default adapter
+```
+
+## Future Plans
+
+**Note**: In future versions of Crawl4AI, we may enable stealth mode and undetected browser by default to provide better out-of-the-box success rates. For now, users should explicitly enable these features when needed.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Crawl4AI provides flexible anti-bot solutions:
+
+1. **Start Simple**: Use regular browser + stealth mode for most sites
+2. **Escalate if Needed**: Switch to undetected browser for sophisticated protection
+3. **Combine for Maximum Effect**: Use both features together when facing the toughest challenges
+
+Remember:
+- Always respect robots.txt and website terms of service
+- Use appropriate delays to avoid overwhelming servers
+- Consider the performance trade-offs of each approach
+- Test progressively to find the minimum necessary evasion level
