Scored daily by a customisable AI persona to surface the most relevant engineering leadership news.
Stealth browser for testing, relevant for dev tooling.
CloakBrowser is a stealth Chromium fork with 49 C++ source-level patches that passes bot detection tests like Cloudflare Turnstile and reCAPTCHA v3 (0.9 score). It offers a drop-in Playwright/Puppeteer replacement via pip or npm, auto-downloads a ~200MB binary, and includes features like human-like mouse curves, SOCKS5 proxy support, and WebRTC IP spoofing.
