Hey, smart one! - Why not allow the behavioral/timing intervals somehow random, with predefined threshholds? Just to simulate real user interactions. - Also, what’s the criteria for choosing those URLs? (Any security measures?) - Those URLs being visited are the same? i.e. you mentioned the URLs being visited are hardcoded, so eventually the ISP can filter our those URLs… unless if they are continuously enriched/interchanged.

It does follow links as to randomize it some but yes the hardcoded list or urls is a limitation and possible pattern. This list can be changed and added to (accepting PR's).

Just thinking, I'll make a feature to configure additional urls.

Cool. Also, maybe a nice-to-have efficiency feature is to prevent the visited URLs from fully loading (to minimize excessive data consumption) — i dk if there’s a way to prevent JS from fully loading/downloading certain stuff.
