Antidetect browser

The category exists because a platform links two accounts by what their sessions have in common. A profile separates the browsing data, the readings a site takes and the address you leave through.

An antidetect browser is a browser that keeps each account in a profile of its own, with its own device values and its own way out.

What the name covers

The term is the industry's own and it names a whole class of programs. Each of them runs several accounts from one computer by giving every account a profile.

Three things belong to the profile rather than to the machine: the browsing data, the values a site reads about the device, and the route the traffic takes.

What your browser answers now

These values are read in your browser on this page. A profile in the app answers with a set of its own instead of these.

Four signals it works on

  • Browsing data

    Cookies, saved sign-ins and site storage stay inside one profile, so one account's session is never in another account's browser.

  • Device readings

    Screen, cores, memory, graphics card, fonts and clock come from the profile instead of from your computer.

  • The way out

    Each profile can hold a proxy of its own, so two accounts do not arrive at a site from one address.

  • The browser's own tells

    A browser that refuses to answer, or answers in a way no real one does, becomes rarer than the value it was covering.

Where the values are changed

There are two places to do it: inside the engine that renders the page, or in a script the page can read as well. The second is a surface of its own, because a replacement that does not look like the thing it replaced is itself a finding.

Here the profile's machine is handed to the engine as it starts. The first script on the page already reads the profile's values rather than a patch applied over yours.

Often confused with

  • A VPN

    It moves the address your traffic comes from and touches nothing a page reads about the device.

  • Incognito

    It forgets a session when the window closes. Forgetting is not separating, and the machine underneath stays the same one.

  • A second profile in an ordinary browser

    Cookies are kept apart for convenience. The screen, the graphics card, the fonts and the exit address stay shared.

  • A virtual machine

    It separates everything, says out loud that it is a virtual machine, and costs tens of gigabytes for every identity.

How to judge one

Ask where the values are changed and ask to see the answer inside a profile rather than on a marketing page. A checker running in a frame on someone's website reports on that website.

The self-test here runs in the profile you opened and against the engine you launched, and it shows all 29 measurements, green and red alike.

What this does not do

  • It does not make your behaviour look human. Typing speed, working hours, pace and the order you do things are yours, and no setting in any browser of this class changes them.
  • It does not change your money or your documents. One card, one payout account or one identity document behind two accounts ties them together outside the browser entirely.
  • It does not cancel a platform's own rule. Many of them allow one account per person, and that is written in their terms rather than in your browser.
  • It does not decide whether an account stays open. It removes one of the signals used to link accounts, and the rest of the work stays yours.

Check it

Every claim above is one file away.

Each profile is launched against a data directory of its own

The device values are derived from the profile number and never stored

The self-test runs in a real browser
apps/desktop/src/lib/fpAudit.js · apps/desktop/test/fp-audit.js
A replacement has to look like the built-in it replaced

Questions

Is this the same as a VPN?
No. A VPN changes the address your traffic comes from, and everything a page reads about the device stays exactly as it was.
Do I need one for a single account?
Usually not. The value appears when several accounts have to stay apart, or when one account has to look the same from two computers.
Can a site tell that I am using one?
A site asks questions whose answers have to agree. The weak point is a mismatch between them rather than the tool itself.
Does it keep my accounts open?
It does not promise that, and neither does anyone honest. Accounts close for behaviour, payment details and platform rules as often as for device values.
What decides whether it works?
Whether the values agree with each other and with the exit address. A profile claiming a Berlin machine while the clock and the address say otherwise is exactly what a check looks for.
