The `proxy` parameter now accepts a Playwright proxy dict
({server, bypass, username, password}) in addition to URL strings.
Dict proxies are passed directly to Playwright, enabling bypass
lists and other advanced proxy options.
- Add ProxySettings TypedDict for Python type safety
- Extract server URL from dict proxies for geoip resolution
- Handle dict proxy args/auth in Puppeteer wrapper
- Strip inline credentials from dict proxy server URL in Puppeteer
- Fix JS launchContext() double-setting timezone (binary flag + context)
- Remove unnecessary non-null assertions in TS geoip helpers
- Use nullish coalescing for password fallbacks
- Add unit tests for geoip with dict proxy input
Check for newer wrapper versions on startup (once per process).
Python queries PyPI, JS queries npm registry. Respects
CLOAKBROWSER_AUTO_UPDATE=false and CLOAKBROWSER_DOWNLOAD_URL
(custom mirror mode skips external registry calls).
Includes unit tests for both languages covering: update detection,
env var gating, network error handling, and once-per-process guard.
- Add PLATFORM_CHROMIUM_VERSIONS map (Linux=v145, macOS=v142)
- Add get_chromium_version()/getChromiumVersion() for platform-specific version
- Make auto-update check release assets before offering updates
- Scope version markers per-platform (latest_version_linux-x64)
- Support 5th version segment for hotfix builds (e.g. 145.0.7632.109.2)
- Derive AVAILABLE_PLATFORMS from version map
launch() and launch_context() now inject --timezone and --lang binary
flags when timezone/locale params are set. Previously only the Playwright
context layer was configured, leaving a detectable mismatch that CreepJS
flagged as a bot signal.
Closes: WM5
- Binary downloads now served from CloakHQ/cloakbrowser releases (chromium-v* tags)
- Auto-update: background version check on launch, downloads newer binary for next use
- Graceful error on macOS/Windows (Linux-only binaries for now)
- Rate-limited (1hr), opt-out via CLOAKBROWSER_AUTO_UPDATE=false
- Add release-binary.yml workflow for anonymous binary releases
Parse user:pass from proxy URLs into separate Playwright username/password
fields. Puppeteer wrapper strips credentials from --proxy-server and
auto-calls page.authenticate(). Bump Python 0.1.6, JS 0.1.3.
Adds js/ package mirroring the Python wrapper architecture:
- Dual API: import from 'cloakbrowser' (Playwright) or 'cloakbrowser/puppeteer'
- TypeScript with full type definitions
- Same binary download/cache logic, same stealth args, same env vars
- Optional peer deps: users install only the runtime they need
- Full 6-site stealth test suite (sannysoft, incolumitas, BrowserScan, deviceandbrowserinfo, FingerprintJS, reCAPTCHA v3)
- Published to npm as cloakbrowser@0.1.2
