CloakBrowser Fallback

Stealth Chromium for navigating sites that block ordinary automation. Drop-in Playwright API, but the browser is a custom-compiled Chromium binary, so detectors score it as a real human browser.

Already installed on this machine. Both languages share the same stealth binary at ~/.cloakbrowser/:

• Python (global): pip package cloakbrowser.
• JS (self-contained in this skill's scripts/): npm cloakbrowser + playwright-core.

Prefer Python by default. Use JS when the target codebase/repo is JS/TS or the user asks for it.

When to reach for this

Use as a fallback only — try the built-in browser tool or Chrome DevTools MCP first. Escalate to CloakBrowser when any of these happen:

• The page returns 403 / 429 / "Access Denied" / "Sorry, you have been blocked".
• A Cloudflare / Turnstile / reCAPTCHA / "Verify you are human" wall blocks content.
• The response is empty, truncated, or clearly a bot-detection interstitial.
• The user explicitly asks for the stealth browser / to bypass a block.
