Remove --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled (dead, binary handles
navigator.webdriver at source level) and hardcoded GPU vendor/renderer flags.
Binary auto-generates diverse GPU profiles from fingerprint seed. Improves
fingerprint diversity -- previously every user shared the same GPU string.
Bump to v0.3.21.
viewport=None now disables viewport emulation via Playwright's
no_viewport=True, matching the JS wrapper's viewport: null behavior.
Uses a sentinel to distinguish "not provided" from explicit None.

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.
Python + JS wrappers, README docs, tests.
Spawns a separate Chrome process per unique fingerprint seed, all behind
a single port (9222). Clients specify seeds and fingerprint params via
query string on the CDP URL:
connect_over_cdp("http://host:9222?fingerprint=12345&timezone=Asia/Tokyo")
Supports all --fingerprint-* flags as query params, geoip=true for
auto timezone/locale from proxy IP, and proxy= for per-process proxies.

- Add ChromePool with per-seed process management and port allocation
- Bidirectional WebSocket proxy for CDP traffic
- URL rewriting for /json/version, /json/list, and WS paths
- Rename _build_args -> build_args, _maybe_resolve_geoip -> maybe_resolve_geoip
- Add aiohttp + websockets to serve optional deps
- Dockerfile installs .[serve] extras
- Add 20 unit tests for cloakserve (param parsing, CLI args, URL rewriting)
- Bump wrapper version to 0.3.17 (Python + JS)
- Update PLATFORM_CHROMIUM_VERSIONS: windows-x64 109.2 → 159.7
- Update patch counts in platform tables (Linux 33, Windows 33)
- Add Linux arm64 to JS README platform table
- Update CHANGELOG with all changes since v0.3.16
Headed mode (all platforms): Chromium's GPU blocklist disables WebGL on
software GPUs in Docker/VNC/Xvfb. Flag lets SwiftShader serve WebGL.
Harmless on real GPUs. Headless unaffected. Ref #56.
Windows (all modes): GPU blocklist also blocks WebGPU for the Microsoft
Basic Render Driver. Dawn's adapter_blocklist bypass alone isn't enough.
- Add linux-arm64 to PLATFORM_CHROMIUM_VERSIONS (Python + JS)
- Multi-arch Docker build (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64) via QEMU in CI
- Add ko-fi donate link to welcome banner (Python + JS)
- Version bump to 0.3.16
Binary:
- Upgrade Linux x64 build to Chromium 145.0.7632.159.7 (33 C++ patches)
- StorageBuckets API quota normalization — closes last storage-based incognito detection vector
Wrapper:
- Fix non-ASCII character support in humanized typing (Cyrillic, CJK, emoji)
- Document storage quota tradeoff for persistent contexts
- Add Ko-fi funding link
Adds install, info, update, and clear-cache subcommands with visible
download progress. Python: `python -m cloakbrowser install`. JavaScript:
`npx cloakbrowser install`. Useful for Dockerfiles where silent
first-use downloads are hard to debug. Closes#43.
- Remove locale and timezone_id from Playwright context kwargs (CDP)
- Pass timezone via --fingerprint-timezone binary flag (process-wide)
- Pass locale via --lang + --fingerprint-locale binary flags
- Accept both timezone and timezone_id param names silently (no deprecation)
- Update all wrapper tests to verify binary args, not CDP context params
Binary: fix detection regression (#16), fix fingerprint consistency in offline audio rendering.
Wrapper: bump version to 0.3.10, update Linux binary version to 145.0.7632.159.2.
Bump version to 0.3.9. Extract shared buildArgs into js/src/args.ts (DRY),
guard console.debug behind DEBUG=cloakbrowser env var, strengthen caplog assertion.
- Bump linux-x64 binary to 145.0.7632.159 (macOS/Windows stay at 145.0.7632.109.2)
- Wrapper version 0.3.8
- Fix rollback path examples to use correct per-platform versions
Show welcome banner once per install (Python, JS, Docker).
Uses marker file in ~/.cloakbrowser/ — resets on cache clear or update.
Replaces logger.info() calls that were invisible by default.
Bump to v0.3.8.
- Rename timezone_id → timezone in launch_context(), launch_persistent_context(),
and launch_persistent_context_async() (Python)
- Extract _migrate_timezone_id() helper for deprecation compat (DRY)
- Always pop timezone_id from kwargs to prevent override via context_kwargs.update()
- Use FutureWarning (visible by default) instead of DeprecationWarning
- JS: deprecate timezoneId on LaunchContextOptions with runtime shim
- Extract migrateTimezoneId<T>() shared helper in playwright.ts (DRY)
- Bump version to 0.3.7 in _version.py and package.json
- Add 4 Python + 4 JS unit tests for deprecation compat behavior
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
- Add launch_persistent_context() Python + JS with examples
- Document persistent context API in both READMEs
- Bump version to 0.3.5
- Credit @evelaa123 and @yahooguntu in CHANGELOG
Binary v14+ auto-generates hardware concurrency, device memory, screen
dimensions, and window size from the fingerprint seed. Remove these
explicit flags from Python/JS wrapper defaults and update README:
- Remove 5 flags from get_default_stealth_args() in both wrappers
- Move hardware-concurrency, device-memory, screen-width, screen-height
to the Additional Flags table with auto-generated defaults documented
- Update code examples to use --fingerprint instead of --window-size
- Simplify fingerprint defaults table to show only wrapper-set flags
Bump wrapper to 0.3.3. Update README fingerprint section to
document auto-spoof behavior (zero-config stealth). Improve
reCAPTCHA test with wait_for_selector instead of blind sleep.
- Add explicit Mac GPU flags (Apple M3 Metal renderer) to stealth args
- Bump macOS platform versions to 145.0.7632.109
- Update README fingerprint table to reflect actual Mac GPU defaults
- Add warning about binary requiring explicit flags without wrapper
- Fix stealth_test.py wait_until for reCAPTCHA page
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
- Add CHANGELOG.md with v0.3.0 release notes (Chromium 145, 26 patches)
- Bump Python and JS package versions from 0.2.2 to 0.3.0
- Update README with v0.3.0 highlights section and changelog link
- Correct roadmap status for Chromium 145 build
Fetches SHA256SUMS sidecar file from download server before extraction.
Mismatch = hard error, unavailable = warn and proceed (graceful for old releases).
Respects CLOAKBROWSER_DOWNLOAD_URL contract (no GitHub fallback for custom mirrors).
Skip with CLOAKBROWSER_SKIP_CHECKSUM=true. Both Python and JS wrappers.
