The template.content bridge (#463) routed every element through
content_source(), which called get_node().clone() to read the Copy
template_contents field. That deep-cloned each element's Node (its attrs
Vec plus a String per attribute) on every innerHTML/outerHTML/dump-html
serialization, once per non-void element.
template_contents is already destructured from the node in the serialize
loop, so read it there directly. content_source() (inner_html path) now
reads it through with_node() by reference. Serialization output is
byte-identical; ~10% faster on serialization-heavy pages.
on_request/on_response stored callbacks in append-only Vecs with no way
to remove one, so a crawler that installed a response-body capture hook
for one phase could never detach it: it fired for the shared client's
whole lifetime, re-registering across navigations piled up duplicates,
and (because the client is shared per context) it saw sibling pages'
requests too.
Tag each callback with a stable id. on_request/on_response now return
the id and off_request/off_response (remove_on_request/remove_on_response
on the client) detach a specific one. Storage is Vec<(u64, Callback)>;
all fire sites destructure the tuple. Closes#408.
Requests made by page JS (fetch/XHR/dynamic script and stylesheet loads)
run in the V8 op layer and never produced a NetworkEvent, so CDP emitted
Network.requestWillBeSent / responseReceived only for the static
navigation subresources. Puppeteer/Playwright page.on('request') and
on('response') therefore missed every XHR/JSON response, which breaks
response capture (and is the root cause of the Aviasales half of #394).
op_fetch_url now records a JsNetworkEvent keyed by the same fetch-{N} id
under which it already stores the response body. The Page drains these
into its network_events before the CDP layer emits, so they flow through
emit_navigation_events as requestWillBeSent / responseReceived /
loadingFinished alongside the document subresources, and
Network.getResponseBody resolves for them via the shared id. Applied to
both navigation paths (server process_navigation and in-process
do_navigate). The queue is capped at 4096 events per page.
Closes#406.
Runtime.executionContextsCleared on navigation told clients every prior
context was gone, but valid_context_ids was insert-only, so a
Runtime.callFunctionOn targeting a pre-navigation context id still ran
instead of being rejected with Chrome's 'Cannot find context with
specified id'. On a long-lived CDP connection the set also grew by one
id per navigation and was never pruned.
Clear valid_context_ids when executionContextsCleared is emitted, then
re-register the default world (id 2) and the isolated worlds as their
executionContextCreated events are emitted. Closes#407.
A <link rel=stylesheet href> appended via JS (createElement +
appendChild) was never fetched and fired neither load nor error, so any
Promise.all awaiting the link's onload (lazy CSS loaders, antd/bootstrap
fetchers) hung forever and the page stalled at its pre-load stage.
appendChild already drives this for <script src>; mirror it for links:
resolve the href against <base>/document URL, fetch it, and dispatch
load on success or error on failure. CSS is not applied (no layout
engine yet) but the load-event contract matches Chrome.
Read the stylesheet intent from both the rel attribute and the rel
property, since obscura does not yet reflect the rel IDL attribute back
to the content attribute. Closes#409.
Network.getResponseBody returns the whole body in one base64 blob and the
cache drops anything over 2 MiB, so large downloads (images, PDFs,
archives) either failed or forced the long-running server to hold the
full body in memory (issue #360).
Add Fetch.takeResponseBodyAsStream + IO.read + IO.close. The body is moved
out of the page cache into a stream handle and delivered in bounded chunks
via IO.read, then freed on IO.close, so it is held once and released after
the download. Binary bodies are byte-exact (stored base64). To stream a
large body, raise OBSCURA_NETWORK_BODY_BUFFER_BYTES so it is cached.
This is entirely opt-in: nothing runs unless a client calls the new
methods, so the default fetch/render/scrape path is unchanged (verified:
obstacle course 33/33, obscura-vs-Chrome head-to-head within noise of the
pre-change baseline).
Fixes#360.
load_module and load_inline_module drove run_event_loop to full idle
before reading the module's mod_evaluate result. A page timer keeps the
loop busy forever (Vite's HMR / React-Refresh client installs a
setInterval), so the preamble inline module burned the entire budget
waiting for an idle that never came, and the later module that mounts the
app was skipped, leaving #root empty while the production preview rendered
fine (issue #374).
Drive the event loop and the mod_evaluate result together and return as
soon as the module finishes evaluating, so a busy background timer no
longer starves the remaining modules. Post-eval async work is still
drained by the normal post-load settle.
Fixes#374.
The script-execution phase had a 10s soft deadline. On a heavy SPA the
remaining scripts were skipped before the app finished booting, so it
never fired its XHR/fetch calls and page.on('response') captured zero API
responses (issue #361). The knob to extend it, OBSCURA_SCRIPT_DEADLINE_MS,
existed but was undocumented, so it was undiscoverable.
Raise the default to 30s and document the env var. Only pages that keep
running past the deadline are affected; fast pages finish and return well
before it, so the larger budget costs them nothing, and the per-phase
watchdog (armed at deadline + 1s) still bounds a real synchronous hang.
Very heavy SPAs on slow networks can raise it further with
OBSCURA_SCRIPT_DEADLINE_MS, paired with a matching client nav timeout.
Fixes#361.
obscura serve --workers N --proxy ... spawned each worker with the proxy
as a --proxy CLI flag, so the plaintext credential was visible to any
local user via ps / /proc/<pid>/cmdline (issue #366). scrape already
avoids this by passing the proxy in OBSCURA_PROXY, which is only readable
by the owner.
Pass the proxy to serve workers via OBSCURA_PROXY too, and have the serve
command read that env as a fallback when no --proxy flag is given. The
worker argv no longer contains the credential.
Fixes#366.
Puppeteer's ElementHandle.uploadFile and Playwright's setInputFiles drive
an <input type=file> through CDP DOM.setFileInputFiles, which obscura
rejected as an unknown method, so any upload flow failed (issue #359).
Implement it: resolve the node, read each local file, and hand the bytes
(base64) to the JS layer, which builds real File objects (backed by the
bytes, so page code can read them via FileReader or upload them via
fetch/FormData) and fires input+change like a genuine selection. The file
input exposes a FileList via .files, and .value reads C:\fakepath\<name>
to match Chrome.
Fixes#359.
extract_readable_text recursed once per DOM nesting level, so a deeply
nested page overflowed the call stack and aborted the process (exit 134)
on --dump text. This is the CLI counterpart of the serialize/textContent
walks made iterative in obscura-dom; that fix did not cover this function.
Rewrite it as an iterative DFS over an explicit work stack, with a
Newline work item for a block element's trailing newline so output is
byte-for-byte unchanged, plus the same defense-in-depth node cap the DOM
walkers use. Relates to #362.
Regression test for #355: an uncaught `throw` in one inline <script> must
not prevent later independent <script>s from running. This was fixed by
the #147 poison-guard (present on main) but reported again against 0.1.9
with an explicit throw; this pins the exact scenario so it cannot regress.
Closes#355.
el.style (CSSStyleDeclaration) and el.dataset (DOMStringMap) were plain
Proxies with only get/set traps, so `'color' in el.style`, `Object.keys
(el.style)`, `'foo' in el.dataset`, and `Object.keys(el.dataset)` all
failed, and Object.keys(el.style) leaked the internal `_props` (issue
#356). cssText also serialized camelCase names without a trailing
semicolon.
Add has / ownKeys / getOwnPropertyDescriptor traps to both proxies so the
`in` operator and enumeration behave like real CSSOM. CSSStyleDeclaration
now stores properties by their dashed name (matching the spec), so
el.style.fontSize and getPropertyValue('font-size') stay in sync, and
cssText serializes dashed names with a trailing semicolon. A known CSS
property list backs `in`/enumeration so feature detection ('object-fit'
in el.style) works for unset properties.
Closes#356.
Typing over CDP into a React controlled input never fired onChange, so
the value never reached component state (issue #324). Two root causes,
both needed:
1. Value tracker. React/Preact/Vue install a value tracker by redefining
`value` on the element instance to record the last value they wrote.
obscura's CDP typing assigned `el.value = ...` directly, which runs
that wrapper and keeps the tracker in sync, so React saw no change on
the input event. Synthetic value/backspace writes now go through a new
__obscura_setFieldValue helper that writes via the element's prototype
setter, bypassing the tracker. The tracker stays stale, so the input
event reads as a real edit.
2. Event handler feature detection. React decides whether to use the
modern `input` event via `("oninput" in document)`. obscura exposed the
GlobalEventHandlers on* attributes only on window, so that check failed
and React fell back to a legacy change-detection path that ignores
input events. The on* attributes are now also present on Document and
Element, matching the HTML spec (GlobalEventHandlers is mixed into
Window, Document, and HTMLElement).
Verified end to end over CDP against the real React 18 UMD build: typing
into controlled inputs updates state, the component re-renders, and a
submit handler reads the captured values.
Closes#324.
fetch handled one URL at a time, so checking many raw resources meant
wrapping it in an external loop. Add --file <path> to read newline-
delimited URLs (- for stdin; blank lines and # comments skipped) and
--concurrency <N> to fetch them in parallel bounded by a semaphore.
Batch mode is raw HTTP only (--dump original, the default in this mode)
and prints one JSON status line per URL (url, ok, status, content_type,
bytes, elapsed_ms, or error) in input order. Rendered/DOM batch work
still belongs to scrape. A single positional URL is unchanged.
Fixes#349.
new Image() used a bare class shim with no .style, so new Image().style
returned undefined and libraries touching style on a detached image threw
(issue #350). Build the image from document.createElement('img') instead,
which gives a working CSSStyleDeclaration, attribute reflection, and event
dispatch. Assigning .src still emulates a successful decode: it flips
complete and fires load (both the onload property and load listeners) so
lazy loaders and preloaders do not hang.
The DOMSnapshot walk recursed one frame per nesting level. The MAX_NODES
cap bounds the node count but not the depth, so a deeply nested linear
chain (script can build thousands of nested elements) could overflow the
stack before the count guard triggered. Rewrite it with an explicit stack
so depth lives on the heap. Pre-order traversal and the MAX_NODES cap are
preserved.
Fixes#341.
The comment serializer wrote its contents verbatim. The HTML parser can
never produce a comment whose data contains "-->" (it ends the comment),
but script can via document.createComment("a-->b"). Serializing that
verbatim closed the comment early and let the trailing text escape into
markup. Replace "-->" with "-->" so the output round-trips as a single
comment.
Fixes#342.
These Chrome CDP methods logged "Unknown method" warnings. obscura runs
one page per session and does not download to disk, so there is nothing
to do, but clients that call them should get a success ack instead of a
warning. Added as no-op stubs.
Refs #340.
Navigating straight to an image, PDF, or other resource could not read the
main response body over CDP, and Page.frameNavigated always reported
text/html.
Two problems: the main resource's body was stored under its internal
request id, but the client sees it as the navigation loaderId (Chrome's
requestId === loaderId convention), so Network.getResponseBody(loaderId)
missed. And binary bodies were stored as UTF-8-lossy text, corrupting the
bytes. Alias the stored body to the loaderId, store non-text-like content
types (images, PDF, octet-stream) base64, and report the response's real
Content-Type in frameNavigated. HTML pages are unchanged.
Fixes#340.
Two standard-conformance fixes surfaced by #335 (the issue itself is a commercial anti-bot challenge and out of scope; these are the legitimate browser-compatibility gaps from it).
• checkbox/radio value: an input with no value attribute returns "on" in a real browser; obscura returned "". An explicit value attribute still wins.
• NodeList: childNodes returned a plain Array, and NodeList extended Array, so Array.isArray(list) was true and Object.prototype.toString reported "[object Array]". A real browser reports "[object NodeList]" with Array.isArray false. NodeList is now its own type with the array-like surface scripts use (indexed access, length, item, forEach, entries/keys/values, iteration), and childNodes goes through it.
Verified: checkbox/radio default "on" (explicit value preserved), childNodes and querySelectorAll are real NodeLists (constructor "NodeList", "[object NodeList]", Array.isArray false), and spread / for..of / Array.from still work. Obstacle course 33/33, obscura-dom 33/33.
Refs #335.
childNodes returned a plain Array (constructor "Array"), and NodeList
extended Array, so Array.isArray(list) was true and
Object.prototype.toString reported "[object Array]". A real browser
reports "[object NodeList]" and Array.isArray is false, which
feature-detection and fingerprinting scripts check.
NodeList is now its own type with the array-like surface scripts use
(indexed access, length, item, forEach, entries/keys/values, iteration),
and childNodes goes through it. Verified spread, for..of, and Array.from
still work.
Refs #335.
A checkbox or radio input with no value attribute returns "on" in a real
browser; obscura returned the empty string. Page scripts that read
input.value to build form submissions (and browser-environment checks)
saw the wrong default. An explicit value attribute still wins.

The single-worker serve path honored --host, but run_multi_worker_serve hardcoded the load balancer to 127.0.0.1. With --host 0.0.0.0 and --workers >1 (the common Docker setup) the balancer bound loopback only, so the mapped port was refused from outside the container. Bind the balancer to the requested host. Workers stay on loopback and are reached only by the balancer.

serve --storage-dir saved cookies only on Ctrl-C (SIGINT). docker stop
and kill send SIGTERM, which was not caught, so the save_cookies() call
at shutdown never ran and cookies were lost on restart. Watch SIGTERM as
well as Ctrl-C on Unix.
querySelectorAll / --selector silently returned nothing for :has().
Two fixes were needed:
- Enable :has() parsing: the selectors crate gates it on the parser's
parse_has() (default false), so a:has(p) failed to parse and the error
was swallowed into an empty match set.
- Fix OpaqueElement stability: opaque() was keyed off the transient
DomElement (which is Copy and gets a fresh stack address each traversal
step), so the same node produced a different id every call. :has anchor
matching compares the anchor's opaque against the element reached by
walking up the tree, so it never matched. Key opaque() off the node's
stable slot in the tree's Vec instead.
SVG className and href reflected as plain strings, so el.className.animVal
and el.href.animVal were undefined, which made new URL(svgEl.href.animVal)
throw and broke any SVG-aware script. Add an SVGAnimatedString class
(baseVal/animVal both read the live attribute; baseVal writable) and make
the className and href getters return it for SVG-namespace elements. href
falls back to the legacy xlink:href. HTML elements are unchanged.
CookieJar::set_cookie and set_cookie_from_js started from the request host but
blindly overwrote it with any Domain attribute, so a response from
attacker.test could plant a cookie scoped to victim.test, which was then sent
on later requests to victim.test. The same sink backs document.cookie, HTTP
Set-Cookie, and CookieStore::set.
Add resolve_cookie_domain: with no Domain the cookie is host-only (exact host
only); a Domain attribute is honored only when it domain-matches the origin
(equal or a parent domain) and is not an obvious public suffix, otherwise the
attribute is ignored and the cookie is stored host-only on the origin. Track
host_only on CookieEntry so host-only cookies are not sent to subdomains.
A full public suffix list is not bundled, so multi-label public suffixes
(co.uk, github.io) are not rejected; the domain-match check still blocks the
reported cross-domain attack, and single-label suffixes (com, local) are.
Tests cover the cross-domain rejection for both HTTP and document.cookie,
public-suffix rejection, host-only subdomain scoping, and that legitimate
parent-domain cookies still work.

The request interception API (#306) and the global --stealth flag are
merged, so:
- Use-as-a-Rust-library.md: add an "Intercept requests" section covering
on_request/on_response, enable_interception (Continue/Fulfill/Fail),
and add_preload_script, with examples.
- Intercept-and-modify-requests.md: point embedders at the native API.
- AGENTS.md: --stealth is now global (all subcommands incl. scrape, via
OBSCURA_STEALTH for workers); note the interception API on the obscura
crate and that op_fetch_url rewrites must stay behind validate_fetch_url.
- skills/obscura/SKILL.md: fix the build note (stealth is not a default
feature), correct "randomized" to a consistent fingerprint, add the
global --stealth flag, --dump assets/cookies, and an interception note.
- --stealth is now a global flag: document it on every subcommand
including scrape, and that it works before or after the subcommand.
- Correct the stealth description: it presents a consistent Chrome
fingerprint (TLS, headers, JS surfaces), not a randomized one, and
scripted fetch()/XHR share that fingerprint.
- Add --dump cookies to the CLI reference and the extract-data guide.
- Note --dump assets now also lists fetch()/XHR request URLs.
GitHub issue forms that enforce the fields needed to triage: obscura
version, OS and architecture, how it is being used, stealth mode, a
reproduction, expected vs actual, and whether headless Chrome behaves
the same. config.yml routes questions and API proposals to Discussions
and security reports to the private advisory flow.
SECURITY.md: private reporting via GitHub advisories with an email
fallback, a what-to-include checklist, response and disclosure policy, a
scope section (what is and is not a vulnerability, including stealth and
opt-in flags), third-party dependency handling, and the in-process
security model (V8 watchdog, CLI deadline, panic safety, default SSRF
egress block) with the note that it complements rather than replaces
OS-level isolation. Modeled on the Electron, Node, and Puppeteer policies.
CONTRIBUTING.md: code of conduct, an issue-first submission policy, build
and test workflow (nextest not cargo test, the 33/33 obstacle course
gate), the pre-PR checklist with performance as a hard constraint,
commit and PR conventions, and bug-report expectations. Points at
AGENTS.md for the deeper engine details instead of duplicating them.
• add_preload_script(&str) runs a script before any of the page's own <script> tags (the CDP Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument contract). Call it before navigation.
• enable_interception() -> UnboundedReceiver<InterceptedRequest> yields every JS fetch()/XHR request. Resolve each via its resolver with InterceptResolution::{Continue, Fulfill, Fail} to pass, mock, or block it. Continue can rewrite url/method/headers/body.
• on_request(cb) / on_response(cb) register passive callbacks fired for every request and response (navigation plus JS fetch()/XHR), the response callback including the body. This is the main path for capturing SPA API payloads.
• op_fetch_url (the op backing JS fetch()/XHR) now invokes the on_request/on_response callbacks and honors Continue overrides. Before this they fired only for navigation-level requests. The stealth fetch path is wired too.
• Interception types (InterceptedRequest, InterceptResolution, RequestInfo, RequestCallback, ResponseCallback, ResourceType, Response) are re-exported up through obscura-browser to the public obscura crate.
• A Continue URL rewrite is re-validated against the SSRF/private-network gate (validate_fetch_url), the same as a redirect, so a rewrite can't reach an internal address the original request was blocked from.
• The callbacks are gated behind an emptiness check, so there is no per-request cost when no interceptor is registere
A Continue resolution that rewrites the request URL applied the new URL
after validate_fetch_url had already run on the original, so a rewrite
could reach a private or internal address the original request was
blocked from. Run the overridden URL back through validate_fetch_url,
matching how redirects are re-validated, and return a blocked response
if it fails.
Also fix a doc comment that ended up attached to the new fetch_response
helper instead of stealth_fetch_all.
op_fetch_url ignored the url/method/headers/body fields on
InterceptResolution::Continue, so the interception channel could pass, mock, or
block a request but not rewrite it. Apply them: shadow url/method/body and
derive custom_headers from the override after the channel resolves Continue.
Also fix enable_interception() called before the first navigation: init_js
propagated intercept_tx to the new runtime but not intercept_enabled, so the
runtime started with interception disabled and op_fetch_url never intercepted.
Propagate intercept_enabled in init_js as well.
Add a test that rewrites a fetch's url via Continue and asserts the rewritten
response is captured.
Expose the interception infrastructure that already existed internally but was
private, so embedders can intercept, observe, mock, or block JS fetch()/XHR
without forking or unsafe casts.
On obscura::Page:
- add_preload_script: inject JS before any page <script> (CDP
Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument). The field already ran the scripts;
this only adds the method.
- enable_interception: returns a receiver for every JS fetch()/XHR request;
resolve each through its resolver with InterceptResolution::{Continue,
Fulfill, Fail} to pass, mock, or block (CDP Fetch.enable equivalent).
- on_request / on_response: passive callbacks. on_response is the main path for
capturing API response payloads from SPAs.
on_request/on_response previously fired only for navigation; op_fetch_url now
invokes them for JS fetch()/XHR too (both reqwest and stealth paths), gated on
a non-empty callback vector so the common no-callback case pays nothing.
Re-export InterceptedRequest, InterceptResolution, RequestInfo, ResourceType,
RequestCallback, ResponseCallback, Response from the obscura crate.
Integration test tests/interception.rs exercises all three against a local echo
server.
--stealth was a per-subcommand flag defined separately on fetch, serve,
and mcp, and missing from scrape entirely. You could not enable stealth
for parallel scraping, and `obscura --stealth fetch` (flag before the
subcommand) errored.
Promote --stealth to a single global flag like --proxy, so it is valid
before or after any subcommand and applies uniformly to fetch, serve,
scrape, and mcp. scrape now forwards it to its workers via OBSCURA_STEALTH
(mirroring OBSCURA_PROXY), and the bare `obscura` default CDP server
honors it too.
Verified: navigating directly to a blocklisted tracker renders 55503
chars without stealth and 39 (blocked) with it, identically on fetch and
scrape. Obstacle course 33/33.
**Fingerprint consistency (stealth)** The stealth TLS, navigator, and WebGL surfaces previously disagreed. The wreq client reported Windows Chrome but navigator reported Linux, and WebGL returned Direct3D11 renderers for a Linux UA — a combination no real browser ever produces. Everything now presents one consistent Windows Chrome 145 identity: the HTTP User-Agent header, sec-ch-ua-platform, navigator.userAgent, navigator.platform, userAgentData, and WebGL renderer all agree. userAgentData brands are derived from the Chrome major version via Chromium's GREASE algorithm instead of a single hardcoded token.
**sec-ch-ua client hints on the default (non-stealth) path** The plain navigation client hardcoded `sec-ch-ua-platform: "Linux"` and Chrome 149 brands regardless of which profile was selected. Both headers are now derived from the actual User-Agent using the same GREASE algorithm, so non-stealth requests are also internally consistent.
**Route scripted fetch()/XHR through the stealth TLS client** In stealth mode, JS `fetch()` and `XMLHttpRequest` were still going through the plain reqwest/rustls stack, so subresource requests (sensors, WAF challenge verify calls) arrived with a non-browser TLS fingerprint. They now share the navigation's Chrome TLS fingerprint and sec-ch-ua client hints. The non-stealth path is unchanged.
**FormData serialization in fetch() — the booking.com fix** Passing a `FormData` as a `fetch()` or `XHR.send()` body sent the literal string `"[object Object]"` instead of a multipart payload. booking.com's AWS WAF challenge POSTs its proof-of-work solution to `/mp_verify` as FormData, so the verify always failed and no `aws-waf-token` was issued. `FormData` is now serialized to a proper `multipart/form-data` body with a generated boundary; `URLSearchParams` gets `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`. XHR routes through `fetch()` so it is covered too.
**navigator.permissions.query defaults** `permissions.query` returned `"granted"` for every permission. Real Chrome defaults camera, microphone, geolocation, and midi to `"prompt"`. Fixed.
**SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 in crypto.subtle.digest** Added FIPS 180-4 truncated SHA-512 variants to the Rust op and the JS allowlist. WAF challenge scripts that use these algorithms now get real output instead of a NotSupportedError.
**location updates synchronously on navigation, Blob-URL Worker race fixed**
Resolved conflicts:
- page.rs: keep both set_blocked_urls (#315) and stealth client wiring
- ops.rs: keep SHA-512/224 + SHA-512/256 from stealth branch; keep
the unreachable catch-all (vec![]) from #314 instead of silent
SHA-256 fallback; updated comment accordingly
- bootstrap.js: extend the digest algorithm allowlist to include
SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 to match the Rust additions
The default HTTP path emitted headers with user-agent first and sec-fetch-dest
before sec-fetch-site, an order no real browser produces and a known
fingerprint signal. Reorder the explicit headers to Chrome's top-level
navigation order (sec-ch-ua family, upgrade-insecure-requests, user-agent,
accept, sec-fetch-site/mode/user/dest, accept-language). reqwest still appends
accept-encoding and host after these, so accept-encoding lands after
accept-language instead of before it; the rest matches Chrome exactly.
permissions.query returned "granted" for every permission except notifications.
Real Chrome defaults camera, microphone, geolocation, and midi to "prompt", so
answering "granted" for them is a bot tell. Return "prompt" for those (keeping
notifications in sync with Notification.permission) and "granted" for the rest.
The non-stealth navigation path hardcoded sec-ch-ua-platform "Linux" and a
fixed sec-ch-ua using Chrome 149's GREASE token, regardless of the selected
profile. With the default Windows Chrome 143 profile that meant a Windows UA
and navigator.userAgentData traveling with a Linux sec-ch-ua-platform header
and mismatched brands, a cross-layer inconsistency a site can check at a
glance. Derive both headers from the profile User-Agent using Chromium's
per-major GREASE algorithm, so the HTTP client hints agree with the JS surfaces.
Backspace always trimmed the last character and typing always appended,
ignoring any selection. So "select-all, then Backspace to clear" left
all but one character, and typing over a selection accumulated text
instead of replacing it.
Backspace now deletes the selected range when one is set, and typed
text replaces it, matching the browser. selectionStart is null during
ordinary typing, so the previous append/trim behavior is preserved when
no selection is tracked.
Pairs with the triple-click select-all in #320 to make the common
"triple-click, Backspace, retype" clear pattern work end to end. Also
fixes the same pattern when a page sets the selection via select() or
setSelectionRange().
fetch() and XHR did String(body), so passing a FormData as the request body
sent the literal "[object Object]" and lost the multipart payload along with
its boundary. Servers expecting multipart/form-data replied 400 "Invalid
boundary for multipart/form-data", which is what blocked booking.com: the AWS
WAF challenge POSTs its proof-of-work solution to /mp_verify as FormData, so
the verify always failed and no aws-waf-token was issued. Serialize FormData to
a multipart/form-data body with a generated boundary and set the matching
Content-Type, the way a real browser does; URLSearchParams bodies get
application/x-www-form-urlencoded. XHR.send routes through fetch() so it is
covered too. With this, obscura --stealth renders the real booking.com landing
page the same as headless Chrome.
URL.createObjectURL stored blob content asynchronously (blob.text().then) but
the Worker constructor read __blobStore synchronously, so new Worker(blobURL)
in the same tick raced the store, fell through to fetch(blobURL), and failed
with net::ERR_FAILED. This broke Blob-URL workers including the AWS WAF
challenge proof-of-work worker. Store synchronously from Blob._bytes, which the
obscura Blob materializes in its constructor.
location.reload was a no-op, so challenges that reload after setting a token
cookie never re-fetched. It now navigates like assign/replace.
location.href/assign/replace/reload cleared __virtualUrl immediately, so a
script that set location.href and re-read it saw the old URL until the async
navigation completed; real browsers update location.href synchronously. Preview
the resolved target in __virtualUrl and clear it in __obscura_init once the
navigation completes, so immediate reads match and redirects still win.
op_fetch_url backed JS fetch() and XHR with a plain reqwest/rustls client, so
in stealth mode scripted requests carried a non-browser TLS fingerprint and
none of the Chrome client hints the main navigation sends. Bot managers that
score subresource requests (the AWS WAF challenge verify call, Akamai sensors)
read that as a script and reject it. Add StealthHttpClient::send_single and a
stealth_fetch_all path that op_fetch_url uses when a stealth client is
installed, preserving the redirect, SSRF, and CORS handling so JS-level
requests share the navigation's Chrome TLS fingerprint and sec-ch-ua client
hints. The reqwest path is unchanged for non-stealth. Adds a stealth feature to
obscura-js gated on obscura-net/stealth.
Stealth mode forced a Linux navigator UA and platform but reported Windows
in userAgentData.getHighEntropyValues and served Windows Direct3D11 WebGL
renderers, a combination no real Linux Chrome ever produces and that
cross-layer fingerprint checks flag. Present one consistent Windows Chrome
145 identity instead: the wreq emulation uses Platform::Windows, and the
navigator surfaces read the UA and platform from shared constants so the
HTTP User-Agent header, sec-ch-ua-platform, navigator.userAgent, and
userAgentData all agree. userAgentData brands are now derived from the
Chrome major version via Chromium's GREASE algorithm rather than a single
hardcoded token, and a Linux WebGL renderer pool is added so a Linux UA can
never report a Direct3D11 renderer.
The digest op fell through to SHA-256 for any unrecognized algorithm name,
so SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 silently returned a SHA-256 hash. Add the
two FIPS 180-4 truncated variants, which the AWS WAF challenge proof-of-work
(used by booking.com and other CloudFront/WAF sites) requires.
Fixes#314.
Unknown algorithm names (SHA-512/224, MD5, etc.) were silently falling
back to SHA-256, producing wrong bytes with no error. Now throws
DOMException('NotSupportedError') to match Chrome behavior.
Supported: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512.
These three interfaces were missing from the global scope entirely.
Site bundles that reference Plugin as a constructor threw
"ReferenceError: Plugin is not defined".
Added as plain function declarations (same pattern as PluginArray) so
they survive the V8 snapshot. navigator.plugins now returns real Plugin
instances and navigator.mimeTypes returns a real MimeTypeArray with
MimeType instances, so instanceof checks work correctly.
Repo guidance for AI coding agents and contributors, covering the things you
can't infer from the code: build (V8 from source, cmake for stealth, per-crate
scoping), why tests run under cargo nextest and not cargo test (one V8 isolate
per process), the obstacle course as the behavioral gate, the DOM/runtime
gotchas, the hang/panic-safety invariants, and a pre-finish validation
checklist.
