coffeegrind123 c2817c1cae fix(coherence): let macOS draw Intel Mac GPUs, checked as machines
coherence rejected "Intel(R) HD Graphics 400" and "Radeon R9 200
Series" on macOS as a Braswell Atom IGP and a desktop PC card. They are
Firefox's sanitized buckets, not devices: SanitizeRenderer
(FIREFOX_152_0_4_RELEASE) maps an Intel Mac's UHD 630 to the first and
a Radeon Pro 5300M to the second, per Firefox's own TestCiMac and
TestMacAmd. fpgen's pinned model records both from Firefox on macOS at
1.14% each. The rule kept every generated Mac off them, removed 24
real macOS presets in #779 (restored here, 9 + 15), and dropped either
GPU from a caller's Mac preset. ANGLE and llvmpipe stay rejected:
Firefox 152 has no ANGLE-on-Metal path (Bug 2046027 came later).

Intel Macs are now checked as machines instead (intel-mac-hardware),
for every non-Apple GPU on macOS:

- a core count some Intel Mac with that GPU reports. Firefox reports
  physical cores where kern.tcsm_available is set and logical ones
  otherwise, so either counts: 2-8 physical / 4-16 logical for the
  IGP, up to the 2019 Mac Pro for a discrete GPU;
- a screen that is not a notched MacBook's or the 24" iMac's. 45.5% of
  fpgen's Firefox macOS screens are one, and the draw already put an
  Intel or AMD bucket behind 4.9% of them.

The WebGL draw applies the same check, given the core count. The preset
GPU drop moves next to the WebGL draw, after the host core count and
the display clamp: before, a preset's GPU was judged against cores the
launch then replaced. The TypeScript launcher gets the same changes,
and the goldens cover the new check and the narrowed draws.

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

fetch also installs fpgen's model, pinned by sha256, into fpgen's package directory. Otherwise the first generated fingerprint installs it. Run fetch as that directory's owner if the browser will run as another user, e.g. while building a Docker image.

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.

ui-screenshot

To use the gui, install Camoufox with the [gui] extra:

pip install 'camoufox[gui]'

To launch:

camoufox gui

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:
