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
