User:GoLogin/AntidetectMulti-accounting browser

Antidetect browser, or multiaccounting browser is a type of software that lets you change your browser's digital fingerprint. It is done by managing information about user device, operating system and many other parameters seen by websites through the browser API.

Antidetect browsers are usually based on open source software web browsers. Thanks to that, most of them look just like regular browsers with many "normal" features like extensions. Aside from working in the web browser mode, antidetect browsers use technologies that allow you to change device fingerprints in order to avoid user identification.

The antidetect technology is constantly evolving, so all browsers differ greatly in how exactly each fingerprint parameter is changed.

Changed or masked parameters:


 * Canvas — HTML5 element designed to create a two-dimensional bitmap image using scripts written on JavaScript.
 * WebGL — cross-platform API for in-browser 3D graphics, made by non-commercial Khronos Group. WebGL uses the GLSL shader programming language. WebGL works as an HTML5 element and is therefore a full part of the browser's Document Object Model.
 * User Agent — browser identification string containing the version of the operating system and browser.
 * Client Hints — a set of HTTP status codes containing system parameters (screen width and height, OS bit depth and others).
 * Geoposition — allows the user to provide their location to web app, if user provides his agreement.
 * CPU and GPU information. Can be obtained either directly (via the WebGL GL_RENDERER property) or via benchmarks and tests made with Javascript.
 * Display resolution and browser window size, including second display parameters in case of multi-display setup.
 * List of fonts installed on the system, obtained using the getComputedStyle API.
 * Installed extensions. Extensions such as ad blockers make certain changes to the viewed pages. The exact extension can be determined by analyzing the changes it makes to webpages and its settings..

The quality of browser antidetect work depends not only on changing these parameters alone, but also on the methods of doing that. Different products with seemingly same functions can leave a digital footprint in completely different ways from the viewpoint of website scripts and ad networks trying to track them.

The first attempts to replace the fingerprint were made in browser extensions for Mozilla Firefox or using JavaScript. At this moment most antidetect browsers use an open source web browser core.

Affiliate marketing
Antidetect browsers are used in affiliate marketing as a tool for creating and managing advertising accounts on Facebook\Instagram, TikTok and Google Ads. They help the user register a large number of advertising accounts and direct the purchased traffic to the landing pages of affiliate programs. Thus, advertising campaigns are scaled by increasing the number of advertisers.

E-commerce and dropshipping
Antidetect browsers are used on market platforms like Amazon, Ebay, Shopify, Etsy marketplaces to create multiple accounts for one seller or create multiple buyer accounts. Seller accounts are needed to create stores and increase the number of product positions. User accounts are needed to write product reviews. That increases the conversion and trust of the target audience.

Advertising management
Antidetect browsers are used by media companies and advertisers when setting up digital ads to test advertising hypotheses. To do this, new accounts simulate real users configured for certain target groups.

Social media management
Antidetect browsers are widely used by social media agencies to operate multiple clients' and brands' social accounts. The multiaccounting technology lets a small team control heaps of social accounts without extra verifications, share work with team members and manage employee permissions.

Anonymity
Browser fingerprinting technology has certain nuances concerning the privacy of Internet users, as it combines work with browser fingerprints and cookies. As a result, privacy tools that are effective against cookie collection may not work against fingerprinting.

For example, Chrome's incognito mode claims to be private, but does not provide actual privacy. It blocks the execution of some unwanted scripts, but does not change browser fingerprints in anyway. In fact, browser using such a mode becomes even more recognizable. Various plugins are ineffective as well, since they are not much different from Incognito mode and only increase the browser uniqueness.

Antidetect browsers do not prevent sites from receiving a digital fingerprint: they provide a new generated one. When it's used, the website receives an identifier that cannot be used to establish real user settings, software and other parameters. Such digital fingerprint does not cause suspicion and subsequent restrictions.

Multiaccounting
Antidetect browser allows you to create multiple user profiles, each with a unique set of fingerprint data and cookies. This is often called multiaccounting. Identification systems perceive such profiles as individual users visiting the site. Profiles do not overlap and can be controlled from one place. Thus, user actions on different services cannot be linked to each other, which is one of the key methods of creating user's digital footprint.
