About CloakBrowser is a stealth Chromium browser for developers and automation teams using Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or CDP. It is built for public web data, QA, monitoring, scraping, and AI-agent workflows where standard Chromium setups become fragile. CloakBrowser keeps the familiar automation experience. Teams can migrate existing Playwright or Puppeteer workflows with minimal code changes, while .NET and Selenium/CDP are also supported. Run it locally or self-hosted on Windows, macOS, Linux, Docker, and VPS infrastructure. The custom Chromium build handles browser behavior at the source level. CloakBrowser supports persistent profiles, reproducible browser identities, proxy-aware configuration, human-like interaction timing, Docker deployment, and CDP server mode. The wrapper is MIT-licensed; the custom Chromium build is distributed separately under a proprietary license. Proxies and CAPTCHA solving are not included.		About Gaffa is a web scraping and browser automation API that gives developers full, real-browser control with a single API call no headless browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA handling, or scaling infrastructure to manage. JavaScript rendering is handled by default, so pages load exactly as they would for a real visitor. Gaffa supports web scraping, AI-powered structured data extraction, screenshot capture, PDF export, infinite-scroll handling, form filling, and converting any webpage into clean, LLM-ready Markdown for AI and RAG pipelines. A rotating residential proxy network ensures reliable access across geographies with automatic anti-bot bypass. Credits are charged only for actual browser execution time and bandwidth used, with no fixed infrastructure costs.

		Pros from Real Users Pros Super reliable and straightforward tool. Refined set of features and clear documentation. Our setup couldn't have been much faster and we've not had any issues with the tool in over a year! Our system was using a more expensive competing product, but Gaffa made the transition simple and seamless. We are primarily using it to print PDF reports from our site, but plan to expand its use to other parts of our product and processes. Very easy to get going! Really expressive API. Saved me a lot of time and allowed me to do just what I needed in terms of interacting with sites and getting data back in the right way. Also the dashboard where you can see your previous requests is really useful when debugging!
