Instead of injecting JavaScript or tweaking launch flags\u2014which detection systems recognize and block\u2014it ships a real Chromium binary where canvas rendering, WebGL, audio, GPU reporting, WebRTC, and automation signals are altered at compilation time. The result is a browser that antibot systems score as legitimate because it behaves like one.\n\nYou use it exactly like Playwright: call `launch()`, create pages, navigate, and interact. The package handles binary download on first run and supports both free (single session) and Pro (concurrent scaling) modes. It includes optional humanization (mouse curves, keyboard timing, scroll patterns) and can auto-detect timezone and locale from a proxy IP. Common use cases are web scraping, QA automation, and AI agent integration where bot detection would otherwise block access.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to automate against anti-bot-protected sites and are comfortable with the licensing model (free single-session tier, Pro for production concurrency). The source-level patching approach is genuinely different from JavaScript-injection tools and remains actively maintained. No known vulnerabilities. Install friction is low and the API is familiar to Playwright users. Verify that the specific anti-bot systems you target are covered before committing to production."},"id":"cloakbrowser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cloakbrowser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cloakbrowser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cloakbrowser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"cloakbrowser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Stealth Chromium that passes every bot detection test.
