This Python library wraps around Playwright's API to help automatically generate & inject unique device characteristics (OS, CPU info, navigator, fonts, headers, screen dimensions, viewport size, WebGL, addons, etc.) into Camoufox.
It uses BrowserForge under the hood to generate fingerprints that mimic the statistical distribution of device characteristics in real-world traffic.
In addition, it will also calculate your target geolocation, timezone, and locale to avoid proxy protection (see demo).
First, install the camoufox package:
pip install -U camoufox[geoip]The geoip parameter is optional, but heavily recommended if you are using proxies. It will download an extra dataset to determine the user's longitude, latitude, timezone, country, & locale.
Next, download the Camoufox browser:
Windows
camoufox fetchMacOS & Linux
python3 -m camoufox fetchTo uninstall, run camoufox remove.
Manage installed browsers, active version, IP geolocation databases, and package info. Basically a Qt front end for the Python CLI tool.
More updates on it will be coming soon.
To use the gui, install Camoufox with the [gui] extra:
pip install 'camoufox[gui]'To launch:
camoufox guicli-demo.mp4
