What can you build with camoufox?

Scrape pages that block ordinary headless browsers. Give an AI agent a browser that is less likely to be flagged as automated. Run Playwright scripts through rotating residential proxies. Study how browser fingerprinting works by testing against detection sites.

Many websites try to spot automated browsers by reading their fingerprint: the small details a browser reveals about itself. Camoufox is a Firefox-based browser built to hide those signs, so scrapers and AI agents get blocked less often.

The GitHub topics point to Playwright, so it is meant to plug into that automation tooling. The README says it is intended for use with rotating proxies, preferably residential IPs, since your IP address is something the browser cannot hide.

The README text available here is mostly sponsor listings. Full documentation is at camoufox.com, and the project warns that it is under development and may not suit stable production use. Install steps and feature details were not in the text I saw.

What it does

Anti-detect Firefox browser
The project describes itself as an open source anti-detect browser. GitHub topics mention Firefox and fingerprinting.
Made for scraping and agents
It is built for web scraping and for AI agents that need to browse sites that resist automated traffic.
Playwright-friendly
GitHub topics list Playwright, so it is designed to work with that automation library.
Built to pair with proxies
The README says it is intended for use with rotating proxies, preferably residential IPs, and lists several proxy providers.

What you could build

Scrape pages that block ordinary headless browsers.
Give an AI agent a browser that is less likely to be flagged as automated.
Run Playwright scripts through rotating residential proxies.
Study how browser fingerprinting works by testing against detection sites.

Get started

The README given here includes no install commands, so follow the documentation at camoufox.com. Expect to pair it with Playwright and a rotating proxy.

Commands are copied from the project's README. Read it on GitHub for the full setup.

Who it's for

Developers who already do web scraping or browser automation and know Playwright and proxies; they should read camoufox.com first and use it only on sites where automation is permitted.

Useful for

Backend developersRun Playwright scraping scripts through a fingerprint-masked Firefox with rotating proxies on sites that block headless browsers.
AI engineersGive browser-using agents a less detectable browser for web tasks on sites where automation is permitted.
Security engineersStudy browser fingerprinting and test how bot-detection defenses respond to a spoofed Firefox.
