What are browser profiles?

A browser profile is like having a different virtual browser for each task. Each profile has its own cookies, history, settings, and fingerprints. This means they don’t share any data, and no leaks happen between them. Every profile is completely isolated, making it impossible for websites to link them together.

Why do you need browser profiles?

Example 1: Jane and her Facebook accounts

Jane wants to run ads on 3 different Facebook accounts, but she’s worried Facebook will ban them because they’re all from the same device. So, she uses Multilogin.

With Multilogin, each profile gets a unique fingerprint, so Facebook sees them as 3 separate people, not as one person using multiple accounts. No bans, no problem!

Example 2: Alex and web scraping

Alex is scraping data from websites but doesn’t want them to block him. If all the requests come from one place, the websites will notice.

By creating multiple profiles in Multilogin, each one acts like a different user. This helps Alex scrape safely without getting blocked because the websites see several different people browsing, not just him.

What’s inside a browser profile?

Each profile in Multilogin has:

• Unique fingerprints: stuff like your browser version, screen resolution, and device info that stays hidden
• Cookies: they save your login info and settings, so you don’t have to log in every time
• History & extensions: keeps your browsing history and installed extensions just like a real user
• Custom settings: set your language, timezone, and more to make the profile feel like a real person

What are profile categories?

Multilogin X lets you create different types of profiles based on your needs. Here’s a breakdown of the categories.

Cloud vs. local

• Cloud profiles: these are stored online, so you can access them from any device. Cloud profiles are perfect for teams who need to share and collaborate on the same profiles across different devices.
• Local profiles: these are stored directly on your device. They are great for solo work or when you want to keep everything in one place.

Mimic vs. Stealthfox

• Mimic: this is a Chromium-based browser that emulates the behavior of Google Chrome. It's perfect for high compatibility with websites optimized for Chrome.
• Stealthfox: this is a Firefox-based browser, ideal for users who want to take advantage of Firefox’s unique rendering patterns.

Desktop vs. mobile

• Desktop profiles (Windows, macOS, Linux): these are your standard profiles for devices like Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Mobile profiles (Android): these profiles mimic a mobile browsing experience. Great for testing mobile-optimized websites or apps, or when you need to browse like you’re on a smartphone.

Regular vs. quick 

• Regular profiles: these profiles are designed for long-term use. They save cookies, local storage, and session data, so you can pick up right where you left off. Ideal for managing multiple accounts or ongoing tasks.
• Quick profiles: these profiles are temporary and don't save data once they’re stopped. They’re perfect for one-off tasks or testing, but the data gets deleted as soon as the profile is closed.

FAQs

Can I run multiple accounts on the same website with different profiles?

Yes! Each profile is isolated, so you can manage different accounts on the same website without them getting linked or banned.

Can websites tell I’m using Multilogin?

No, each profile behaves like a completely separate user, and all the data is masked. Websites won’t know you're using Multilogin.

How do I keep my profiles organized?

You can group profiles by tags or folders to stay organized. For example, group profiles by campaign or platform (e.g., “Instagram ads” or “Amazon accounts”).

Can I switch between profiles while they’re running?

Yes! You can switch between profiles easily, and they stay independent, so your work across different accounts remains separate.
