Obscura

Features

Agentic Web Browsing - Provides AI models with the ability to control browser sessions and interact with live websites.
External API Tool Exposures - Exposes browser control and data extraction functions as callable tools for AI agents.
JavaScript Rendering - Executes JavaScript via headless browsers to render dynamic content before extracting the final HTML.
Concurrent Scraping Workers - Implements parallel worker execution to efficiently extract large volumes of data from multiple URLs.
User Interaction Simulators - Simulates human web activity through programmatic clicks, form filling, and page navigation.
Headless Browser Automation - Automates user actions and data extraction using a headless browser controlled via the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
Anti-Bot Evasion - Uses browser fingerprint randomization and function masking to bypass automated bot detection services.
Fingerprint Randomization - Randomizes browser fingerprints and masks native properties to evade automated bot detection systems.
Headless Browser Controllers - Provides a control layer for managing headless browser instances that AI agents use to interact with the web.
Remote Browser Controllers - Provides a remote control layer for managing browser instances and page states via standardized messaging.
Chrome DevTools Protocols - Implements the Chrome DevTools Protocol to enable bidirectional communication and control of browser instances.
Scraping Infrastructure Management - Manages the operational infrastructure for large-scale scraping, including proxy routing and bot evasion.
Web Scraping Evasion Tools - Employs anti-detection techniques and fingerprint randomization to scrape websites without being flagged as a bot.
Browser Automation WebSocket Bridges - Implements a WebSocket bridge that allows external automation libraries to control remote browser instances.
HTML to Markdown Converters - Transforms complex HTML structures into token-efficient markdown for AI analysis.
DOM-to-Markdown Transformations - Transforms structured HTML trees into flattened markdown to optimize token usage for large language models.
Markdown Converters - Converts raw webpage content into clean markdown format specifically for consumption by large language models.
Headless Browser Workers - Processes large volumes of URLs by executing multiple headless browser sessions in parallel across separate processes.
Proxy Routing - Routes network requests through external HTTP or SOCKS5 proxies to mask requester identity.

Camoufox is a Firefox-based stealth automation browser designed to evade detection during automated browsing. It combines a fingerprint randomization engine that generates thousands of unique device attributes per session, native-level API interception to spoof WebRTC, WebGL, media, and other fingerprintable properties, and human behavior simulation that moves the cursor along natural, distance-aware trajectories. The browser is compiled from source with build-time stealth patches and runs headlessly via a lightweight virtual display buffer, making it suitable for web scraping, automated testi
