camoufox
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.
Highlights
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()) ```
