#### Patchright is a patched and undetected version of the Playwright Testing and Automation Framework.  It can be used as a drop-in replacement for Playwright.

> [!NOTE]  

> This repository serves the Patchright Driver. To use Patchright, check out the [Python Package](https://github.com/Kaliiiiiiiiii-Vinyzu/patchright-python) or the [NodeJS Package](https://github.com/Kaliiiiiiiiii-Vinyzu/patchright-nodejs).

> [!WARNING]  

> Patchright only patches CHROMIUM based browsers. Firefox and Webkit are not supported.

## Patches

### [Runtime.enable](https://vanilla.aslushnikov.com/?Runtime.enable) Leak

This is the biggest Patch Patchright uses. To avoid detection by this leak, patchright avoids using [Runtime.enable](https://vanilla.aslushnikov.com/?Runtime.enable) by executing Javascript in (isolated) ExecutionContexts.

### [Console.enable](https://vanilla.aslushnikov.com/?Console.enable) Leak

Patchright patches this leak by disabling the Console API all together. This means, console functionality will not work in Patchright. If you really need the console, you might be better off using Javascript loggers, although they also can be easily detected.

### Command Flags Leaks

Patchright tweaks the Playwright Default Args to avoid detection by Command Flag Leaks. This (most importantly) affects:

- `--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled` (added) to avoid navigator.webdriver detection.

- `--enable-automation` (removed) to avoid navigator.webdriver detection.

- `--disable-popup-blocking` (removed) to avoid popup crashing.

- `--disable-component-update` (removed) to avoid detection as a Stealth Driver.

- `--disable-default-apps` (removed) to enable default apps.

- `--disable-extensions` (removed) to enable extensions

### General Leaks

Patchright patches some general leaks in the Playwright codebase. This mainly includes poor setups and obvious detection points.

---

## Stealth

With the right setup, Patchright currently is considered undetectable.

Patchright passes:

## Bugs

#### Even though we have spent a lot of time to make Patchright as stable as possible, bugs may still occur. If you encounter any bugs, please report them in the [Issues](https://github.com/Kaliiiiiiiiii-Vinyzu/patchright/issues).

> [!WARNING]  

> Currently, Patchright may experience some unintended behavior when evaluating JavaScript in the browser.

> This will be fixed when the Option to choose Execution Context (Main/Isolated) is implemented.

> See the [TODO](#todo) for more information.

> [!WARNING]  

> Patchright passes most, but not all the Playwright tests. Some bugs are considered impossible to solve, some are just not relevant. See the list of bugs and their explanation [here](https://github.com/Kaliiiiiiiiii-Vinyzu/patchright/issues/30).

#### Based on the Playwright Tests, we concluded that its highly unlikely that you will be affected by these bugs in regular usecases.

    Init Script Shenanigans

### Explanation

To be able to use InitScripts without [Runtime.enable](https://vanilla.aslushnikov.com/?Runtime.enable), Patchright uses Playwright Routes to inject JavaScript into HTML requests.

### Bugs

Playwright Routes may cause some bugs in other parts of your code. Patchright InitScripts won't cause any bugs that wouldn't be caused by normal Playwright Routes.  If you want any of these bugs fixed, you'll have to contact the Playwright team.

### Leaks

Patchright InitScripts can be detected by Timing Attacks. However, no antibot currently checks for this kind of Timing Attack and they probably won't for a good amount of time.  We consider them not to be a big risk of detection.

---

### TODO

- [ ] Implement Option to choose Execution Context (Main/Isolated).

- [ ] Fix Fixable Bugs.

- [ ] Implement .patch Updater to easily show Patchright's patches.

- [ ] Setup Automated Testing on new Release.

- [ ] Implement Patchright on .NET and Java.

---

## Development

Deployment of new Patchright versions are automatic, but bugs due to Playwright codebase changes may occur. Fixes for these bugs might take a few days to be released.
