The browser has not noised the canvas since #528, and no patch reads canvas:seed (#721). The launcher still drew one on every launch and sent it through CAMOU_CONFIG, and NewContext called a setCanvasSeed that does not exist. They no longer do. For users this changes nothing on any browser since #528: the value was ignored. A config that still passes canvas:seed gets the usual "Skipping unknown patch" notice instead of silence. On a browser from before #528, the launcher no longer turns canvas noise on, which is the behaviour #528 chose. The same audit found more keys declared in settings/properties.json that no patch or Juggler file reads, so setting them did nothing: - canvas:aaOffset, canvas:aaCapOffset - memorysaver, pdfViewerEnabled, webrtc:localipv4/6 - navigator.onLine, navigator.cookieEnabled, navigator.languages - navigator.appCodeName, appName, product, productSub. Firefox reports these constants itself, so fpgen.yml no longer maps them. - webGl:parameters:blockIfNotDefined and its WebGL2 twin test_config_schema now checks this direction too: every declared key must be read by the browser, unless it is listed with a reason. Three are listed: locale:script and navigator.doNotTrack, which the launcher applies itself, and navigator.buildID (#780). The build-tester grading followed the same wrong premise. It tracked canvas collisions as an unfixed per-context leak. A canvas that is rendered rather than noised follows the fonts and GPU, as it does on real machines, so canvas collisions are now counted with the other device-level values. The tribal rule that recorded it as an open question is now a settled one, canvas-is-not-noised, with an automated check. Closes #721. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Camoufox Python Interface
Lightweight wrapper around the Playwright API to help launch Camoufox.
Note
All the latest documentation is available 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 fpgen 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:
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

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.
