CloakBrowser: A Playwright Alternative to Bypass Bot Detection
KhuyenTran16 · x · 2026-08-05
CloakBrowser is a stealth Chromium browser designed as a drop-in replacement for Playwright or Puppeteer.
By applying source-level fingerprint patches, it makes automated browsers behave more like real user sessions, effectively reducing CAPTCHAs, blocked access, and broken login flows caused by bot detection. The project has gained 29.6k stars on GitHub and reportedly passes 30/30 bot detection tests.
