Camoufox is an anti-detect browser built on Firefox, designed specifically for web scraping and browser automation while evading bot detection systems. Unlike Chrome-based anti-detect solutions, Camoufox uses a patched version of Firefox with over 100 modifications to prevent fingerprinting and detection.

Key features include:

Firefox-based stealth Uses Firefox instead of Chrome, which has different fingerprinting characteristics and is less commonly targeted by anti-bot systems. The browser is patched at the C++ level to prevent JavaScript-based fingerprint leaks.
Realistic fingerprints Generates and applies realistic browser fingerprints including screen resolution, WebGL renderer, fonts, and other browser properties that match real user configurations.
Playwright integration Works seamlessly with Playwright for Python, providing the familiar Playwright API while running through the stealth-patched Firefox instance.
Proxy support Built-in proxy support with authentication, including residential proxy rotation.
Geolocation spoofing Can spoof browser geolocation to match proxy IP location for consistent fingerprints.
Human-like behavior Includes utilities for adding human-like mouse movements and typing patterns.

Camoufox is particularly effective against sophisticated anti-bot systems that detect Chrome-based automation tools. By using Firefox as the base, it avoids many Chrome-specific detection vectors while the deep browser patches prevent general fingerprinting techniques.

Requestium is a Python library that merges the power of Requests, Selenium, and Parsel into a single integrated tool for automatizing web actions.

The library was created for writing web automation scripts that are written using mostly Requests but that are able to seamlessly switch to Selenium for the JavaScript heavy parts of the website, while maintaining the session.

Requestium adds independent improvements to both Requests and Selenium, and every new feature is lazily evaluated, so its useful even if writing scripts that use only Requests or Selenium.

Example Use

```python from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox # Launch stealth Firefox browser with Camoufox(headless=True) as browser: page = browser.new_page() # Navigate - the browser appears as a real Firefox user page.goto("https://example.com") # Use standard Playwright API for interaction page.fill("input[name='search']", "web scraping") page.click("button[type='submit']") # Extract data results = page.query_selector_all(".result") for result in results: title = result.query_selector("h3").text_content() print(title) # With proxy and custom fingerprint from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox with Camoufox( headless=True, proxy={"server": "http://proxy.example.com:8080"}, geoip=True, # auto-match geolocation to proxy IP ) as browser: page = browser.new_page() page.goto("https://example.com") print(page.content()) ```

```python from requestium import Session, Keys session = Session(webdriver_path='./chromedriver', browser='chrome-headless', default_timeout=15) # then session object can be used like requests and parsel: title = session.get('http://samplesite.com').xpath('//title/text()').extract_first(default='Default Title') # other advance functions like POST requests and proxy settings are also available: s.post('http://www.samplesite.com/sample', data={'field1': 'data1'}) s.proxies.update({'http': 'http://10.11.4.254:3128', 'https': 'https://10.11.4.252:3128'}) # session can also be used like selenium as it exposes all selenium functions. # like typing keys: s.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@class='user_name']").send_keys('James Bond', Keys.ENTER) ```
