Invisible_playwright: Stealth Firefox that passes every bot detection test
A new version of Firefox, called invisible_playwright, has been developed to effectively bypass bot detection systems. It achieves a high confidence score and passes various fingerprint detection tests without revealing inconsistencies. This browser operates at the C++ level, making it less detectable compared to other anti-detect browsers that rely on JavaScript patches.
- ▪Invisible_playwright is a patched version of Firefox that is fully compatible with Playwright.
- ▪It scores 0.90 on Google reCAPTCHA v3, indicating a high likelihood of being classified as a human user.
- ▪The browser effectively spoofs multiple layers, including Navigator, GPU/WebGL, and WebRTC, without using detectable JavaScript shims.
