Hey everyone 👋

For those just finding us — CloakBrowser is a stealth Chromium binary with fingerprints modified at the C++ source level. Drop-in replacement for Playwright (Python & JS) and Puppeteer. Not config flags, not JS injection — compiled into the binary.

We launched on Reddit 10 days ago and the response has been wild. Thank you to everyone who starred, tested, filed issues, and requested features. A lot of what shipped since v0.1.0 came directly from community feedback.

What's in v0.3.0

• Chromium 145 — latest stable, up from 142
• 25 source-level patches (up from 16) — screen, audio, WebGL, device memory, and more
• Full stealth audit — every patch reviewed for detection vectors, multiple fixes shipped
• SHA-256 checksum verification on binary downloads
• CDP hardening — audited and patched known automation detection vectors
• Timezone & locale from proxy IP — launch(proxy="...", geoip=True)
• macOS support — Apple Silicon and Intel, both platforms
• JavaScript wrapper — npm install cloakbrowser, works with Playwright and Puppeteer

Still passes 30/30 detection tests. 0.9 reCAPTCHA v3 score. Cloudflare Turnstile, FingerprintJS, BrowserScan — all pass.

Get started

pip install cloakbrowser

from cloakbrowser import launch
browser = launch()
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto("https://protected-site.com")
browser.close()

Or JS:

npm install cloakbrowser playwright-core

import { launch } from 'cloakbrowser';
const browser = await launch();

What's next

• macOS v145 binary builds (Apple Silicon + Intel)
• Built-in proxy rotation
• Keeping up with Chromium releases

Using Discussions

This is the place for:

• Questions — setup, config, detection issues, proxy tips
• Show & tell — share what you're building with CloakBrowser
• Feature requests — what would make this more useful for you?
• Bug reports → still use GitHub Issues for those

If you've tested CloakBrowser against a site and have results (pass or fail), we'd love to hear about it. Real-world detection data helps us prioritize patches.
