AI Summary

Pre-built Chromium build featuring 58 source-level fingerprint patches for stealth browsing, including rendering consistency fixes and enhanced wrapper capabilities.

Key Highlights

  • Rendering consistency improvements across Linux and Windows with corrected GPU and display parameters.
  • Windows: Native GPU rendering values now pass through directly instead of being spoofed.
  • New wrapper features include `extension_paths`, humanize actionability, and `human_config` overrides.
  • Added Puppeteer `launchPersistentContext()` support and GeoIP timeout guards.
  • Enhanced security for `cloakserve` with WebSocket origin guards and fingerprint seed sanitization.

New Features

  • Load Chrome extensions in all launch functions via `extension_paths`.
  • Auto-wait for visible, enabled, stable elements before humanized actions.
  • Override humanize settings on individual method calls via `human_config`.
  • Composable JS helpers: `buildLaunchOptions()` and `humanizeBrowser()`.
  • Persistent profiles support in Puppeteer via `launchPersistentContext()`.
  • GeoIP timeout guard with 10s timeout to prevent stalling.
  • Nix flake support for NixOS users.

### What's New (Binary)

- Rendering consistency improvements across Linux and Windows — corrected GPU, display, and graphics parameters to match stock Chrome 146 profiles

- HTTP proxy inline credential support at the network layer

### What's New (Wrapper v0.3.27–v0.3.30)

- **`extension_paths`** — load Chrome extensions in all launch functions
- **Humanize actionability** — auto-wait for visible, enabled, stable elements before humanized actions
- **Per-call `human_config`** — override humanize settings on individual method calls
- **Composable JS helpers** — `buildLaunchOptions()` and `humanizeBrowser()` for custom Playwright integrations
- **Puppeteer `launchPersistentContext()`** — persistent profiles in Puppeteer
- **GeoIP timeout guard** — bounded with 10s timeout so `launch()` cannot stall
- **`cloakserve` security** — WebSocket origin guard, fingerprint seed sanitization
- **Nix flake** for NixOS users
