docs(bot-detection): add GPU Acceleration to Kernel Features That Help#346
Conversation
Surface the bot-detection benefit of GPU-enabled browsers for login flows on sites that fingerprint rendering output (canvas/WebGL).

Drop the GPU bullet from the Managed Auth feature list — it belongs under Kernel Features That Help on the bot-detection overview, where the other anti-detection levers (stealth, proxies, profiles, computer controls) are listed.

Risk assessment: Very Low.
The PR only adds a short GPU Acceleration section to browsers/bot-detection/overview.mdx. This is a small documentation-only change with no application code, configuration, infrastructure, generated assets, or navigation structure modified. I found no CODEOWNERS file requiring owner review.
The current PR head is already approved, so I’m not adding another approval.

Summary
Adds a GPU Acceleration section under "Kernel Features That Help" on the bot-detection overview, alongside Stealth Mode, Configurable Proxies, Profiles, Browser Pools, Playwright Execution, and Computer Controls.
Many detection systems fingerprint canvas/WebGL rendering output and cross-check it against the claimed GPU. Software-rendered (SwiftShader) browsers produce pixel hashes that don't match any real consumer GPU — a strong bot signal on sites with rendering-based fingerprinting. GPU-enabled Kernel browsers render through real hardware, producing output consistent with a normal user's device.

/browsers/gpu-accelerationpage so users can opt in.(Earlier draft of this PR put the bullet on the Managed Auth overview — moved it to bot-detection overview where it sits with the other anti-detection levers.)
Test plan

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change that adds a new section and link; main risk is incorrect/misleading copy or a broken
/browsers/gpu-accelerationlink.Overview
Adds a new GPU Acceleration entry under Kernel Features That Help in
browsers/bot-detection/overview.mdx, explaining how hardware-backed rendering can reduce canvas/WebGL fingerprint mismatches and linking to/browsers/gpu-accelerationfor details.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 9882f89. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
