NAME

WWW::Crawl4AI::Strategy::CloakBrowser - Crawl4AI strategy attaching to CloakBrowser over CDP

VERSION

version 0.001

DESCRIPTION

Tells Crawl4AI to drive an external CloakBrowser via browser_mode: custom and a cdp_url, rather than its own bundled browser. Only enters the chain when the crawler has a cloakbrowser_url.

If that URL has no query string, a per-domain ?fingerprint=<seed> is appended so each target gets a stable CloakBrowser identity. CloakBrowser requires the seed to be a non-negative integer, so the host is folded into a deterministic 32-bit hash (same domain always maps to the same seed). CloakBrowser also accepts timezone, locale, platform, proxy, geoip there.

Security: the CDP port grants full browser control — never expose it to the public internet.

stealth.

True only when $crawler->cloakbrowser_url is set.
