Camoufox Stealth Browser 🦊
C++ level anti-bot evasion — not JavaScript band-aids.
Why Camoufox > Chrome-Based Tools
| Approach | Patches At | Detectable? |
|---|---|---|
| Camoufox ✅ | C++ (compiled into browser) | No — fingerprints are genuinely different |
| undetected-chromedriver | JS runtime | Yes — timing analysis reveals patches |
| puppeteer-stealth | JS injection | Yes — applied after page load |
| playwright-stealth | JS injection | Yes — same limitations |
Most "stealth" tools patch Chrome with JavaScript after the browser starts. Anti-bot systems detect this via timing analysis and consistency checks.
Camoufox is different. It's a Firefox fork with stealth patches compiled into the C++ source code. WebGL, Canvas, and AudioContext fingerprints are genuinely spoofed — not masked by JS overrides.
Key Features
- 🦊 C++ Level Stealth — Fingerprints baked into the browser binary
- 📦 Container Isolation — Runs in distrobox, keeps host clean
- ⚡ Dual-Tool Design — Camoufox for browsers, curl_cffi for fast API-only scraping
- 🔥 Firefox-Based — Less fingerprinted than Chrome (bots love Chrome)
