* Add system-ui font spoofing patch GetSystemUIFontFamilies() now reads navigator.platform from MaskConfig and returns the appropriate system font (Helvetica for macOS, Segoe UI for Windows) before falling through to LookAndFeel::GetFont. Fixes the CreepJS headless.systemFonts "Sans:Linux" leak when spoofing macOS from Linux. * Add patch verification test for system-ui font spoofing Tests macOS and Windows presets: launches Camoufox with a fingerprint, measures canvas text width with unquoted system-ui, asserts it matches the expected system font (Helvetica / Segoe UI). * Rename test to match patch naming convention tests/patches/ files should mirror patch names, not use dated prefixes. * Add config_overrides param to generate_context_fingerprint() There was no clean way to override config values (like disabling font spacing perturbation with fonts:spacing_seed=0) because init_script is rendered inside generate_context_fingerprint() — by the time the caller gets the config dict back, the init_script string is already baked. config_overrides is applied after all config building (preset/seeds/ timezone/locale) but before init_script rendering, giving callers a clean override point without touching the preset (which represents real device data, not perturbation config). The longer-term fix is separating config building from init_script rendering so callers can modify config and re-render. config_overrides is the minimal API addition that unblocks the use case without that refactor. * Rename test to match patch naming convention
Camoufox Python Interface
Lightweight wrapper around the Playwright API to help launch Camoufox.
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 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
CLI Mananger

sync
Pull a list of release assets from GitHub.
> camoufox sync
Syncing repositories...
Official... 24 versions
CoryKing... 2 versions
Synced 26 versions from 2 repos.
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 all # show all available versions from synced repos
> 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:
> camoufox remove --select
version
Display the Python package version, active browser version, channel, and update status.
> camoufox version
