Cloakhq
Developed a documentation-focused integration example for the apify/crawlee-python repository, showcasing how to replace the default browser with CloakBrowser’s binary using a custom PlaywrightBrowserPlugin. This work demonstrated advanced browser automation techniques in Python, specifically targeting scenarios involving aggressive bot-detection. By overriding the new_browser() method and aligning the implementation with the established Camoufox example pattern, the contribution provided a reusable blueprint for customizing browser behavior in web scraping workflows. The example serves as a practical reference for developers seeking to navigate complex automation challenges, improving onboarding and enabling more robust solutions using Playwright, Python, and browser automation skills.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 (2026-04) demonstrated a strong blend of feature delivery, reliability improvements, and CI/CD maturity for CloakHQ/CloakBrowser. Core Cloakserve improvements introduced per-connection fingerprint seeds and enhanced connection tracking, while multiple releases and upgrades kept Chromium-based components current and aligned with WebRTC/stealth testing requirements. The team also expanded SOCKS5 proxy capabilities, improved test coverage and documentation, and tightened CI/CD processes to support faster, safer releases.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 performance highlights for CloakBrowser: Delivered secure, reliable, cross‑platform updates and a stronger release/process floor. Key features include auto-detect timezone/locale from proxy IP via GeoIP; binary integrity via SHA-256 checks; per-platform Chromium versioning and 145-based upgrades; and refreshed documentation with CHANGELOG and version bumps. Major reliability improvements include CDP-leak mitigation by replacing page.wait_for_timeout with time.sleep; consistent download badge counts; and wrapper/binary updates for v11–v13 changes. Expanded unit test coverage and CI workflows improved code quality and release confidence, enabling faster, safer deployments.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Focused on delivering a robust stealth browser automation stack and expanding platform support to accelerate time-to-value for customers. Key features delivered include the Cloakbrowser stealth Chromium wrapper for Playwright (v0.1.0) enabling undetectable automation in web apps; a JavaScript/TypeScript wrapper with Playwright and Puppeteer support to broaden developer adoption; stealth hardening enhancements and a rewritten test suite (v0.1.4) to improve reliability and security; macOS platform support with a macOS release (0.2.0), GPG-signed release workflow, and automated distribution (auto-update); and proxy authentication improvements enabling credentials in URLs and proxy URLs for easier secure deployments. These workstreams, combined with ongoing documentation improvements and packaging optimizations (README, Docker, docs), reduced friction for developers and operations, improved security posture, and expanded cross-platform release coverage.
