Description

Add CloakBrowser integration example, following the same pattern as the existing Camoufox example.

CloakBrowser is a patched Chromium binary with source-level fingerprint modifications that passes Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA v3 (0.9 score), and common bot detection checks where stock Chromium and playwright-stealth get blocked.

The integration uses a custom PlaywrightBrowserPlugin that swaps the default Chromium for CloakBrowser's binary. Same plugin pattern as Camoufox — override new_browser(), return a PlaywrightBrowserController.

Testing

Tested on Linux x64 with Crawlee 1.5.0. The plugin launches CloakBrowser's binary, all stealth checks pass (webdriver=false, spoofed GPU/platform/plugins/hardwareConcurrency). Zero failed requests.
