The same author also makes a Python binding of this which exposes a requests-like API in Python, very helpful for making HTTP reqs without the overhead of running an entire browser stack: https://github.com/lexiforest/curl_cffi I can't help but feel like these are the dying breaths of the open Internet though.

The latest version is a moving target, currently you get the following chrome versions: $ curl_chrome curl_chrome100 curl_chrome101 curl_chrome104 curl_chrome107 curl_chrome110 curl_chrome116 curl_chrome119 curl_chrome120 curl_chrome123 curl_chrome124 curl_chrome131 curl_chrome131_android curl_chrome99 curl_chrome99_android
Perhaps plain `curl_chrome` could use the latest available `curl_chromeNNN`

#113Earlier quoted context omitted.
They've been planning this stuff for a long time... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next-Generation_Secure_Computi... ...and we're seeing the puzzle pieces fall into place.

Another trending thread right now is Pegasus/Predator; as much as it may be a facade, to say MS (or any OS vendor) has no business working on security/secure computing is demonstrably false.
I have no problem with them working on security in the service of the user. The problem is with them claiming to do that, but instead doing the opposite.

#114I think someone should need this. It is based on boring tls and makes some fake extensions similar to utls to support Firefox TLS fingerprint imitation
