Browser vs browser

• measured 2026-10-25Camoufox vs Firefox, headlessHeadless Firefox and headless Camoufox (both based on Firefox source; not affiliated with Mozilla) side by side: the headless tells a page can read, what Camoufox hides, and what its "virtual" mode costs.
• measured 2026-10-06Camoufox vs PatchrightTwo stealth browsers, two philosophies: a browser based on Firefox source (not affiliated with Mozilla) that spoofs the whole device at the C++ level, or a Chromium that patches the automation leaks and otherwise tells the truth. What each is like to drive, and what a site sees.
• measured 2026-10-09Chrome vs BraveThe same Chromium 155 underneath, two very different faces: Brave calls itself Chrome in the user agent but Brave in the client hints, randomises cores, screen and canvas, sends Sec-GPC, drops a TLS extension and switches off Google's Topics and Fenced Frames.
• measured 2026-10-07Chrome vs ChromiumGoogle's Chrome against the Chromium build Playwright ships: seven majors apart, one brand missing from the client hints, one TLS extension fewer — and, contrary to folklore, the same video codecs and DRM.
• measured 2026-10-06Chrome vs EdgeTwo real Chromium browsers on the fleet, measured side by side: identical engine, identical HTTP/2 and header order, and exactly three things a site can tell apart — the user-agent token, the client-hint brand and one TLS extension.
• measured 2026-10-14Edge vs BraveTwo Chromium 155 forks with the same TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint: Edge names itself in the user agent and reports its real machine; Brave hides in the user agent but not the client hints, farbles cores, memory and screen, and drops Topics and Fenced Frames.
• measured 2026-10-05Firefox vs CamoufoxPlaywright's Firefox build against the anti-detect fork built on it (both based on Firefox source; not affiliated with Mozilla): what Camoufox changes in what a site sees, what it costs you as a developer, and when plain Firefox is the better tool.
• measured 2026-10-12Opera vs ChromeOpera 137 runs on Chromium 153, two majors behind Chrome 155, and names itself everywhere — OPR in the user agent, Opera in the client hints — while its TLS, HTTP/2 and header order are byte-for-byte Chrome's. What that means for driving it and for how sites see it.
• measured 2026-10-10Patchright vs RebrowserTwo stealth-patched Chromium builds that look the same to a site — same TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprints, no webdriver, no Runtime.enable leak — but Patchright is Chromium 148 on today's Playwright, and Rebrowser is Chromium 136 pinned to Playwright 1.52.
• measured 2026-10-18WebKit vs ChromiumPlaywright's WebKit 26.4 claims a Mac in its user agent but reports Linux, sets navigator.webdriver and speaks HTTP/1.1 through a proxy. Where it beats Chromium (CSS, testing), and why it is not an iPhone's browser.
• measured 2026-11-13WebKit vs the Safari it claims to bePlaywright's WebKit 26.4 sends a Mac Safari 26.4 user agent, but reports Linux x86_64, sets navigator.webdriver, offers only HTTP/1.1, renders with Linux fonts and has no WebGPU — while already exposing CSS from Safari 27.0. What it is good for, and every place a page can see it isn't Safari on a Mac or an iPhone.
• measured 2026-11-08Naver Whale vs ChromeWhale 5.41 runs on Chromium 156, one major behind Chrome 157, names itself in the user agent and client hints, and now sends the same TLS hello as Chrome. What that means for driving it and for how sites see it.
• measured 2026-10-28Yandex Browser vs ChromeYandex Browser 26.8 runs on Chromium 150, six majors behind Chrome 156, names itself in the user agent and client hints, puts Russian first in navigator.languages and sends a TLS hello one extension short of Chrome's.

Version vs version

• measured 2026-11-08Brave beta vs stableBrave's beta channel next to stable on the fleet. Right now the beta is the older engine: Brave 1.100 beta is on Chromium 156, while 1.99 stable already moved to Chromium 157. TLS and HTTP/2 are identical, and five web APIs differ.
• measured 2026-10-15Camoufox 152 vs Camoufox 150Both claim Firefox 152 and send the same TLS fingerprint — but on 152 Playwright's evaluate and init scripts run in an isolated world the page can't see, while on 150 they run in the page's own world.
• measured 2026-10-04Chrome 154 vs Chrome 153What changed between the two Chrome majors on the fleet — new features, removals, the new HTTP warning and why automated sessions don't see it — and which of it a site can use to tell a browser's version, or to tell that the version is a lie.
• measured 2026-10-13Chrome 155 vs Chrome 154Chrome 155 on the fleet: four web features a page can detect, the same TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint as 154, and release-note features sessions don't get.
• measured 2026-10-05Chrome 156 (beta) vs Chrome 154Two majors ahead of stable, measured on the fleet: what 155 and 156 add and remove, which of it a page can already detect in the beta, what is identical on the wire, and what you can set before 156 ships.
• measured 2026-10-16Edge 156 (beta) vs Edge 155Edge's beta channel next to stable on the fleet: two CSS features a page can detect, a reordered client-hint brand list, and the same TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint.
• measured 2026-11-08Opera developer vs stableOpera's developer channel next to stable on the fleet. Both are on Chromium 155, so the web platform and the TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint are identical. What gives the developer build away is the "(Edition developer)" suffix in its user agent.
