Bypass Playwright's CDP Fetch.authRequired interceptor for authenticated
HTTP proxies by passing inline credentials via Chrome's --proxy-server
flag. Chrome sends Proxy-Authorization preemptively, avoiding the 407
round-trip that breaks on some proxies and Google domains (#182).
Gated on platform (linux-x64, windows-x64) and binary version >= 146.0.7680.177.5.
Unsupported platforms fall back to Playwright's proxy dict.
Puppeteer falls back to page.authenticate() on unsupported platforms.
Expose userDataDir support via launchPersistentContext() for
cloakbrowser/puppeteer, matching the existing Playwright API.
Includes proxy auth, geoip, and humanize support.
Route SOCKS5/SOCKS5h proxies via --proxy-server Chrome arg instead of
Playwright's proxy dict (which rejects SOCKS5 with credentials).
Handles string URLs, Playwright dicts, IPv6, bypass lists.
SOCKS5 geoip exit IP resolution uses socks-proxy-agent (optional peer
dep). Falls back to DNS if not installed.
Two ways to spoof WebRTC ICE candidate IPs:
1. --fingerprint-webrtc-ip=auto in args: resolves proxy exit IP via
HTTP call through the proxy (ipify.org). No extra deps needed.
2. geoip=True: auto-injects the flag for free (exit IP already
resolved during timezone/locale lookup, zero extra network cost).
Explicit IP (--fingerprint-webrtc-ip=1.2.3.4) also supported.
User-provided values always take precedence.
