Clearcote

Clearcote provides an open-source, de-Googled Chromium build engineered for robust privacy and consistent identity management. Key features include: • Engine-level fingerprint controls • Reproducible builds • De-Googled Chromium base • Drop-in SDKs for Playwright & Puppeteer • Coherent per-site identity Unlike traditional browser automation, Clearcote integrates identity controls directly into the browser engine, ensuring consistent and plausible browser profiles without relying on easily detectable script injections. This architectural choice results in native behavior that is less prone to detection by advanced fingerprinting methods, making it ideal for tasks requiring anonymity and stable sessions. The browser also removes Google services and telemetry for enhanced privacy. Clearcote supports existing Playwright and Puppeteer APIs, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate it into their current automation stacks. It provides granular control over various browser signals, including Canvas 2D, WebGL, AudioContext, fonts, timezone, User-Agent, and more, all configurable via command-line switches. This level of control enables the creation of unique, consistent browser fingerprints for diverse operational needs. This tool is built for developers and engineering teams who need reliable, undetectable browser instances for web scraping, testing, and various data collection efforts. Its open-source nature, reproducibility, and lack of phone-home features make it a transparent and trustworthy choice for professional browser automation.
