    The video closes on "@HermesWatcher" on a cream screen.

Lets Hermes browse with Camoufox, a Firefox fork built to avoid bot detection. The plugin drives a Camofox server that you run on your own machine (Hermes never starts it). It used to be built into Hermes, and existing setups carry over automatically.

I can't believe this is free. 🦊Hermes just shipped its own browser that doesn't look like a bot.It's called Camofox, an official Nous Research plugin, and it runs on your own machine.
  • Fingerprint spoofing built in, on a Firefox fork
  • Shows up as everyday Firefox, not a headless bot
  • Its own browser in the background, so yours stays free
  • Search, click, type, scroll and read pages
  • Keeps your logins, one profile per Hermes profile
  • No cloud browser, it all runs locally
  • Already using Camofox? Nothing changes
Your machine. Your logins. Hermes in disguise.
