forwardproxy VS naiveproxy

2. TLS fingerprinting.

The first could be defeated by adding padding to the first few packets of each of your connections. [1]

The second.. someone built a socks5 <-> https CONNECT proxy client [2] out of Chrome's codebase, which means it shares all the fingerprint with Chrome and you really can't tell.

What language is "Electron" written in and how many lines of it are used. Even more, what languages are Chromium brower engine and Node.js written in and how many lines of it are used.

When we make assumptions, e.g., no need to initialise hardware, no need for bootcode, no need for bootloader, no need for drivers, no need for kernel, no need for operating system, and so on, then, IMHO, the comparisons do not make as much sense.

Perhaps it is not "how you use them" but "what they can actually do". To me, getting a computer to boot is still an essential task. Building things "from the ground up" is still, to me, the path with fewer limitations and boundaries. As I understand it, building things from the ground up is how the creator of UNIX preferred to work.

To be honest, IMO, it's really about "what you are trying to do". And the assumption in comments like these is that one is trying to do the exact same thing in (less than or equal to 500 lines of) language X, Y or Z. But what if one wants to do somehting different that no one has done before.

When I was a kid, I faintly remember Lego sets that sometimes had pre-constructed "add-ons" with moving parts. These attachments might have even been motorised. Although such attachments might have had a Lego logo with a trademark symbol on them, making them appear to be part of a set, they did not really belong with the plastic building blocks. They were obviously not meant to be pulled apart and rebuilt.

The pre-compiled "browser", a single large binary that does "everything its user could ever want to do" as determined by someone else, not the user, controlled and distributed by an advertising services company, is it a building block or one of those motorised add-ons. How many "developers" pull the browser apart and rebuild it.^1 It seems the advertising company is expecting most will not do that.

1. One exception, which uses only the networking code, is https://github.com/klzgrad/naiveproxy/

The "modern browser" is what could be many programs. Instead, these are all rolled into one.

Your best bet would be naiveproxy. WG does not design with obfuscation in mind. Or you could use shadowsocks with v2ray instead.

If it still fails, try Outline VPN which Shadowsocks protocol made some attempt to evade detection. If you're only using browsers, https://github.com/klzgrad/naiveproxy can masquerade common traffic assuming your school doesn't use whitelist.
