What it does

CloakBrowser is a stealth Chromium browser that evades bot detection, allowing developers to automate browsing without being flagged as a bot.

When to use it
  • When scraping websites that have strict bot detection measures
  • When automating tasks that require a browser to mimic human behavior
  • When replacing Playwright with a more stealthy alternative
Ready-to-paste prompt
browser.get('https://example.com'); browser.find_element('css selector', '#login-button').click()
Heads up: Make sure to set the `CLOAK_BROWSER_BINARY` environment variable to the path of the CloakBrowser binary, as specified in the GitHub README
