Watching browser fingerprinting calls via Chromium's Blink layer
Kameleo 5.1 ships Fingerprint Inspector, a DevTools-style panel that shows exactly which fingerprinting calls a site makes, patched into Blink instead of monkey
In plain words
Kameleo 5.1 includes Fingerprint Inspector, a developer tools panel that displays which fingerprinting calls websites make by monitoring Blink layer operations directly. The tool helps users understand how sites distinguish human visitors from automated traffic by revealing fingerprinting techniques in real time, eliminating the need to manually deobfuscate JavaScript or monitor network traffic. It's designed for anyone investigating browser fingerprinting and anti-bot mechanisms.

Even if you've struggled to understand the inner workings of anti-bot protections in the past, this tool changes that. I used to get overwhelmed trying to understand what each website does to distinguish human traffic from non-human traffic. Every time, I'd try to understand and deobfuscate the JavaScript, monitor the traffic, and pinpoint the small changes in the responses whenever I tweaked the environment or the browser configuration. I've wanted this for a while: a real way for users to see exactly what a website is doing to fingerprint them. However, I had no idea what would be the right architecture for it. Then I read a post by a researcher named Veritas about forking Chromium into…from kameleo.io

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
