Replace the same-origin checksum with a detached Ed25519 signature
(SHA256SUMS.sig) verified against a pinned public key before extraction,
closing #308: a compromised download mirror can no longer certify a
tampered binary. The signed manifest also binds the release version,
rejecting a forced downgrade to an older signed build.
Verification is mandatory and non-bypassable on the official download path;
custom CLOAKBROWSER_DOWNLOAD_URL mirrors keep the legacy skippable checksum.
Silent auto-update is preserved for everyone because only a constant public
key is pinned, not per-version hashes. Older installed wrappers are
unaffected — the version= line is ignored by their checksum parser.
Python uses cryptography; JS uses node:crypto. Adds tamper, downgrade, and
fail-closed tests in both languages.
Headed launches applied a fixed emulated viewport on top of the real
browser window, yielding outerWidth < innerWidth (an impossible window).
Default headed new_page()/new_context() to no_viewport so the page tracks
the real window; headless keeps a deterministic viewport. Covers Python
launch/launch_context/launch_persistent_context (+async) and the JS
Playwright/Puppeteer wrappers. Explicit viewport still honored.
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.
- 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
- 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
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 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
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
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
- 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
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
