Camoufox Discussion

👋 Welcome!

I've opened discussions as a way to share ideas about Camoufox's development, issues, and potential leaks. 😃

When you open the camoufox (excellent work by the way) launcher manually in the terminal, is there a way to connect to it with playwright like CDP does?
Like get websocket endpoints and connect later? I know this is a CDP thing but i was just wondering.

I don't believe so. Juggler (Playwright's protocol for Firefox) works by establishing a pipe between the Playwright core server and Firefox to communicate. This means that Playwright and Firefox (or a fork like Camoufox) must be launched together using Playwright's API to control the browser instance directly over the pipe.

Playwright's can't retroactively attach to a manually launched instance in the same way that CDP does for Chromium-based browsers. But, having the ability to remotely host Camoufox and access it through a WSS endpoint is something I have planned.
