go-browserhttp is a pure-Go, CGO_ENABLED=0 http.Client that presents a real Chrome TLS fingerprint via uTLS. Many sites 403 non-browser clients based largely on the TLS ClientHello; mimicking Chrome's ciphers, extensions and curves — plus a browser User-Agent and a warmed cookie jar — lets a plain Go client reach public endpoints with no host web view. Identical on macOS, Linux and Windows.

Quickstart

Construct a client and issue a request that looks like Chrome:

c := browserhttp.NewClient(30 * time.Second)
resp, err := c.Get("https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/hot.json")

Repositories
