Clearcote

Clearcote is an open-source, de-Googled Chromium browser built from the ground up with fingerprint control integrated directly into the engine. Unlike fragile stealth plugins that rely on easily detected JavaScript patches, or expensive closed-source anti-detect platforms that lock you into limited interfaces, Clearcote gives developers a transparent, developer-friendly alternative. It modifies Chromium at the engine level, so every identity signal is consistent, coherent, and native-looking to websites. Instead of an accidentally unique browser fingerprint that screams "automation," Clearcote generates one plausible, human-like identity from a single seed. This makes it ideal for Playwright and Puppeteer workflows, enabling privacy-focused browsing, authorized automation, QA testing, web scraping, research, and multi-profile development with far greater control over fingerprinting surfaces. The project is completely transparent every change is a readable patch, it phones home to no servers, and it is available on npm, PyPI, and NuGet. Developers can start with the free open-source version, then upgrade to Clearcote Pro for advanced profile management, scalable automation, team workflows, premium builds, priority updates, and professional support. Whether you are tired of maintaining brittle stealth scripts or want a privacy-first browser for automation, Clearcote helps you build faster and reduce maintenance overhead.
