Contributions summary:Wyatt significantly contributed to the project by implementing changes to `curl-impersonate` to mimic the behavior of various web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox) when making HTTPS requests. These changes involved modifying the TLS handshake process, including adjustments to cipher suites, HTTP/2 settings, and HTTP headers to match the target browser's behavior, which effectively improved the project's ability to impersonate those browsers. Furthermore, the user addressed a security-related issue by incorporating support for TLS certificate compression and adding various security-related features. The user has also added and maintained tests to verify that the project continues to work with the different versions of browsers.
