Project mention: Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Edge, Opera to follow | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-10
Same here, but when a site completely fails in Firefox I either A) use my phone because mobile Firefox occasionally works or B) use Ungoogled Chromium.
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Really hoping the uBlock will continue to work on that project...

Project mention: I Built a Self-Hosted RSS Reader with AI Summarization, Translation, and an MCP Server | dev.to | 2026-03-16
For sites requiring JavaScript rendering, FlareSolverr (Headless Chrome) handles it.

pydoll
Pydoll is a library for automating chromium-based browsers without a WebDriver, offering realistic interactions.
It's not a browser extension, but controlling the actual browser without using webdriver is already a thing.

Puppeteer is JavaScript/Node.js only-Google maintains no Python API. If you need a Puppeteer-like experience in Python, use Playwright (same “control Chrome over CDP” idea, with first-class Python and auto-waits). There is an unofficial port pyppeteer, but it is not actively maintained; for new Python work, Playwright is the better choice. Below is the Node.js example so you can compare the API:

CloakBrowser
Stealth Chromium that passes every bot detection test. Drop-in Playwright replacement with source-level fingerprint patches. 30/30 tests passed.
CAPTCHAs are great. Exploiters get around them with proprietary anti-detect browsers and unethical residential proxies, while privacy browsers and affordable privacy VPNs get blocked and shadowbanned to death.
Fingerprint.com, while not a CAPTCHA, gives you +3 suspicious score for using privacy settings like adblock on your browser.
https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser is a good anti-detect browser as well as CAPTCHA bypass.

Botright
Botright, the most advance undetected, fingerprint-changing, captcha-solving, open-source automation framework. Build on Playwright, its as easy to use as it is to extend your code. Solving your Captchas for free with AI.
-
WitnessMe
Web Inventory tool, takes screenshots of webpages using Pyppeteer (headless Chrome/Chromium) and provides some extra bells & whistles to make life easier.
-
html2image
A package acting as a wrapper around the headless mode of existing web browsers to generate images from URLs and from HTML+CSS strings or files.
html2image is a thin wrapper around the headless mode of a Chrome/Chromium/Edge that is already installed on the machine — it doesn't bundle one. Maintained (latest 2.0.7, May 2025), MIT, and genuinely the simplest local route when a browser is already present.

chrome-devtools-mcp
An MCP Server for Chrome DevTools, following the Chrome DevTools Protocol. Integrates with Claude Desktop and Claude Code. (by benjaminr)
-
NotionAI-MyMind
This repo uses AI and the wonderful Notion to enable you to add anything on the web to your "Mind" and forget about everything else.
-
ChromeController
Comprehensive wrapper and execution manager for the Chrome browser using the Chrome Debugging Protocol.

Just ran evals on a few detectors, and clark-browser passed live stealth checks on Cloudflare smoke, SannySoft, BrowserLeaks Client Hints, and WebGL.
Results + new binary https://github.com/clark-labs-inc/clark-browser

I've only needed to use it a couple of times, but sometimes Chrome releases changes that break your website and it's really nice to be able to point to a changeset when you report it. Chrome has its own tool, bisect-builds.py, which you can do this with:
https://github.com/jay0lee/chrome-bisect

weblens
Weblens is a fast tool for the web that fetches pages and turns them into readable Markdown for the CLI, Python, MCP, automation, and AI workflows.
