What is this?

This Python library wraps around Playwright's API to help automatically generate & inject unique device characteristics (OS, CPU info, navigator, fonts, headers, screen dimensions, viewport size, WebGL, addons, etc.) into Camoufox.

It uses BrowserForge under the hood to generate fingerprints that mimic the statistical distribution of device characteristics in real-world traffic.

In addition, it will also calculate your target geolocation, timezone, and locale to avoid proxy protection (see demo).

Installation

First, install the camoufox package:

pip install -U camoufox[geoip]

The geoip parameter is optional, but heavily recommended if you are using proxies. It will download an extra dataset to determine the user's longitude, latitude, timezone, country, & locale.

Next, download the Camoufox browser:

Windows

camoufox fetch

MacOS & Linux

python3 -m camoufox fetch

To uninstall, run camoufox remove.

Installing multiple Camoufox versions & from other repos

UI Manager

Manage installed browsers, active version, IP geolocation databases, and package info. Basically a Qt front end for the Python CLI tool.

More updates on it will be coming soon.

To use the gui, install Camoufox with the [gui] extra:

pip install 'camoufox[gui]'

To launch:

camoufox gui

set

Choose a version channel or pin a specific version. Can also be called with a specifier to activate directly.

Interactive selector:

> camoufox set

You can also pass a specifier to pin a specific version or choose a channel to follow directly. This will pull the latest stable version from the official repo on camoufox fetch.

> camoufox set official/stable  # Default setting

Follow latest prerelease version from the official repo, if applicable:

> camoufox set official/prerelease

Pin a specific version:

> camoufox set official/stable/134.0.2-beta.20

active

Prints the current active version string:

> camoufox active  # Default channel is active
official/stable

> camoufox set coryking/stable/142.0.1-fork.26
Pinned: coryking/stable/142.0.1-fork.26
Run 'camoufox fetch' to install.

> camoufox active  # A specific version is pinned
coryking/stable/142.0.1-fork.26 (not installed)

fetch

Install the latest version from the active channel. By default, this is official/stable. This will also automatically sync repository assets.

> camoufox fetch  # Install the latest in the channel

To download the latest from a different channel, or pin a version:

> camoufox set coryking/stable
> camoufox fetch  # Will download the latest release from CoryKing's repo for now on

Or pass in the identifier to download directly without activating it:

> camoufox fetch official/stable/135.0-beta.25   # Install a specific version

list

List installed or all available Camoufox versions as a tree.

> camoufox list          # show installed versions

> camoufox list --path   # show full install paths

remove

By default, removes the entire camoufox data directory.

> camoufox remove
> camoufox remove -y  # skip confirmation prompt

Remove a specific version:

> camoufox remove official/stable/134.0.2-beta.20

Interactively select a version to remove:
