foxyz 1.0.5

Wrapper around Playwright to help launch Foxyz

Foxyz Python Interface

Lightweight wrapper around the Playwright API to help launch Foxyz.

[!NOTE] All the the latest documentation is avaliable here.

---

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 Foxyz.

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 foxyz package:

pip install -U foxyz[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 Foxyz browser:

Windows

foxyz fetch

MacOS & Linux

python3 -m foxyz fetch

To uninstall, run foxyz remove.

---

Installing multiple Foxyz 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 Foxyz with the [gui] extra:

pip install 'foxyz[gui]'

To launch:

foxyz gui

---

set

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

Interactive selector:

> foxyz 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 foxyz fetch.

> foxyz set official/stable  # Default setting

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

> foxyz set official/prerelease

Pin a specific version:

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

---

active

Prints the current active version string:

> foxyz active  # Default channel is active
official/stable

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

> foxyz 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.

> foxyz fetch  # Install the latest in the channel

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

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

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

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

---

list

List installed or all available Foxyz versions as a tree.

> foxyz list          # show installed versions

> foxyz list --path   # show full install paths

---

remove

By default, removes the entire foxyz data directory.

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

Remove a specific version:

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

Interactively select a version to remove:

> foxyz remove --select
