CloakBrowser is a modified Chromium browser designed to avoid detection by anti-bot systems, offering a drop-in replacement for Playwright that includes fingerprint masking at the source level. It passes all major bot detection tests and works with popular automation frameworks like Selenium and Puppeteer, making it useful for developers building legitimate web scraping, testing, or automation tools that need to operate without triggering security blocks. Developers use it when standard browser automation gets blocked by services like Cloudflare or reCAPTCHA that specifically target headless browsers and automated access patterns.
