Damru
Damru vs other browser-automation tools
Damru is the only option that is Android-native and spoofs below the browser layer. Every other popular stealth tool patches a desktop browser with JavaScript — a surface modern detectors read well.
| Tool | Platform | Spoofing layer | Real Android profiles | JS injection | Language |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damru | Real Android (Redroid) | OS / binary / CDP | ✅ 155 | No | Python |
| undetected-chromedriver | Desktop Chrome | Driver / JS patches | ❌ | Yes | Python |
| SeleniumBase (UC Mode) | Desktop Chrome | Driver / CDP | ❌ | Partial | Python |
| playwright-stealth | Desktop | JS patches | ❌ | Yes | Python / JS |
| Camoufox | Desktop Firefox | Firmware-level FF | ❌ | No | Python |
| Appium | Mobile (testing) | None (QA, not stealth) | Device farm | — | Multi |
How does instance management compare?
Damru manages instances in code with an optional local UI and live viewer; GUI antidetect tools manage profiles in a dashboard; and code-only stealth libraries leave orchestration entirely to you.
Instance management is the layer that creates, scales, watches, and shuts down browser sessions. The table below compares how each category handles it — the code-first versus GUI split is the clearest dividing line.
| Tool | Instance management | Live viewing | Scaling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damru | Code-first (DamruPool) + optional local UI | Damru View (live scrcpy stream) | In code (max_devices, proxy rotation) |
| undetected-chromedriver / playwright-stealth | Code-only (you write the orchestration) | None built in | In your own code |
| Multilogin / GoLogin / AdsPower | GUI profile dashboard (+ optional API) | Open the profile window | Add seats / profiles in the panel |
| Appium | Test-runner / device farm | Depends on the farm | Add devices to the grid |
Damru's instance layer — DamruPool, the Damru UI dashboard, and the Damru View live stream — is covered in full on the browser instance manager page.
Which tool should you choose?
Choose Damru for real-Android stealth in code, a desktop stealth library if you must stay on desktop Chrome, or a GUI antidetect tool if a non-technical team prefers a point-and-click panel.
The desktop stealth tools (undetected-chromedriver, SeleniumBase, playwright-stealth) are fine when you genuinely need desktop Chrome and can accept a JavaScript patch surface. GUI antidetect browsers suit teams that want durable, shareable profiles in a managed panel. Damru fits developers, CI/CD, and researchers who want a genuine Android fingerprint and the instance layer owned in code.

FAQ
What is the best undetected-chromedriver alternative?
For genuine mobile fingerprints, Damru is the strongest alternative because it automates a real Android browser and spoofs below the browser layer, rather than patching desktop Chrome with JavaScript that modern detectors read well.
Is there an open-source antidetect option for Android?
Yes — Damru is open source under the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 license and is built specifically for real Android. Most antidetect browsers (Multilogin, GoLogin, AdsPower) are closed-source GUI tools focused on desktop Chromium profiles.
How does instance management compare across these tools?
Damru manages instances in code with DamruPool plus an optional local UI and a live viewer; GUI antidetect tools manage profiles in a point-and-click dashboard; code-only stealth libraries leave orchestration entirely to you. See the instance management table above and the dedicated instance manager page.
