Question 1

What is an antidetect browser?

Accepted Answer

A specialised browser that creates isolated profiles, each with its own browser fingerprint — canvas, WebGL, fonts, audio context, time zone, language, and hardware signatures — paired with a unique proxy. To the target platform, each profile appears as a separate physical device on a separate network connection.

Question 2

Is running multiple accounts with an antidetect browser legal?

Accepted Answer

Operating multiple accounts is rarely illegal in itself but almost always violates the terms of service of platforms that enforce single-account rules. Legal exposure depends on what the accounts do — managing authorised client accounts is generally lawful, while fraud, fake reviews, or vote manipulation crosses into civil and criminal territory.

Question 3

How many accounts can I realistically manage from one machine?

Accepted Answer

A single operator can manage 20–50 active profiles manually before workflow becomes the bottleneck. With API automation, scripting, and team collaboration features, professional operations run several hundred to low thousands of profiles per machine, limited primarily by RAM, CPU, and proxy budget rather than the tool itself.

Question 4

What is the difference between an antidetect browser and incognito mode?

Accepted Answer

Incognito mode only isolates cookies and browsing history within a single browser fingerprint — every incognito tab shares the same canvas, WebGL, hardware, font, and audio signatures. Antidetect browsers generate a unique, persistent fingerprint per profile and bind a dedicated proxy per profile, making each one look like a separate physical device.

Question 5

What type of proxy should I use with an antidetect browser?

Accepted Answer

Match the proxy to the target platform's anti-bot strictness. Datacenter proxies work for low-risk targets but get flagged on social and ad platforms. Residential proxies are the standard for most multi-account workflows. ISP proxies suit long-lived account-management sessions. Mobile proxies are reserved for the highest-trust scenarios.

Question 6

How much does an antidetect browser cost?

Accepted Answer

Plans run roughly £40–£250 per month for most team configurations, scaling to £400–£1,600+ for enterprise setups with large profile counts. Add proxy costs of £150–£1,500 per month depending on IP type and volume. A serious 100-profile operation typically budgets £400–£2,000 per month for software and proxies combined.
