* fix(proxy): log when SOCKS5 credential auto-encoding rewrites URL (#157)
Auto URL-encoding of SOCKS5 credentials (added in v0.3.26 to fix Chromium's
'=' truncation bug) currently happens silently. Users debugging connectivity
have no way to know the wrapper rewrote their proxy URL — the original #157
thread took 8 round-trips to surface this exact ambiguity.
Emit a log when re-encoding actually changes the URL: INFO on Python's
'cloakbrowser' logger, console.debug in JavaScript. Stays silent on
already-encoded inputs and credential-less URLs to avoid false-positive
noise. Credentials are not included in the log message.
Tests: 3 new cases per language (Python caplog, JS vi.spyOn console.debug)
covering trigger / silent-when-encoded / silent-when-no-creds.
* fix(proxy): gate log on credential change, not full URL diff
Per Copilot review on #209: urlparse cosmetically lowercases scheme and
hostname, so comparing the full reconstructed URL to the input would emit
"Auto URL-encoded SOCKS5..." even for inputs like
`socks5://USER:pass@HOST.com:1080` where no credential encoding happened.
Compare raw vs encoded user/password substrings instead. Mirror the same
condition in JS for parity (JS's manual parser preserves case today, but the
credential-level compare is more robust against future changes).
Adds one regression test per language.
The humanize layer hardcoded timeout=2000ms for element lookups, causing
locator.click() and page.click() to fail instantly instead of retrying
for 30s like standard Playwright. Aligned all defaults to 30000ms across
Python sync/async, JS Playwright, and JS Puppeteer paths. Bumped the
outer retry sleep from 200ms to 500ms for DOM mutation settle time.
Chromium's --proxy-server parser truncates passwords at '=' and other
special chars, causing SOCKS5 auth to silently fail and fall back to
direct connection. The dict path already encoded creds; now the string
path does too. Idempotent: pre-encoded input stays encoded.
Python: add async counterpart to launch_context(). Forwards all kwargs to
browser.new_context() — enables storage_state, permissions, extra_http_headers,
etc. without needing a persistent profile folder.
JS: launchContext() and launchPersistentContext() silently dropped unknown
options. New contextOptions field in LaunchContextOptions is spread into
newContext() to forward arbitrary Playwright context options (e.g.
storageState, permissions, geolocation).
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.
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.
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.
- 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 examples/integrations/ with tested examples for browser-use, Crawl4AI,
Scrapling, LangChain, Selenium, undetected-chromedriver, and agent-browser.
Add js/examples/stagehand.ts for Stagehand (TypeScript).
README: new "Framework Integrations" subsection with two integration
patterns (direct binary launch vs CDP connect) and table linking all 8 examples.
- 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
Verify that HTTP errors (429, 503, etc.) from cloakbrowser.dev
correctly trigger GitHub Releases fallback for both binary and
checksum downloads. Also test that custom CLOAKBROWSER_DOWNLOAD_URL
disables fallback, and both-sources-fail returns gracefully.
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.
