Has anyone got camoufox working on calibre Nixos?
As the title: has any of you an idea how to get Calibre's camoufox to work on Nixos? Mine complains that there is no browserforge, which is probably some nix store weirdness, but wanted to see if anyone has resolved this already. Is it possible to provide local version of camoufox to Calibre?

Their problem is not Calibre. Camoufox is something to use to avoid bot-detection for browsers.

Yes it's to use a local camoufox, the nixos package of calibre has to be modified to build with ./setup.py resources --system-camoufox
