Antidetect Browser Glossary
Key terms and definitions for antidetect browsers, fingerprinting, proxies, and multi-account management.
A
Antidetect Browser
A specialized web browser designed to create isolated browser profiles, each with unique fingerprints, cookies, and browsing data. Used for managing multiple online accounts without detection or linking. Popular antidetect browsers include MoreLogin, AdsPower, GoLogin, Multilogin, and Dolphin Anty.
Account Farming
The process of creating and 'warming up' multiple accounts over time by simulating real user activity. This includes browsing, engaging with content, and gradually building account trust before using them for advertising, marketing, or airdrop farming.
B
Browser Fingerprint
A collection of technical attributes from your browser and device that websites use to uniquely identify you. Includes Canvas hash, WebGL renderer, User Agent, screen resolution, installed fonts, timezone, and dozens of other parameters. Even without cookies, a fingerprint can identify you with 90%+ accuracy.
Browser Profile
An isolated browser environment within an antidetect browser. Each profile has its own unique fingerprint, cookies, cache, local storage, and browsing history. Profiles operate independently — like separate computers in a single application.
Browser Automation
Programmatically controlling browser profiles using frameworks like Selenium, Puppeteer, or Playwright. Antidetect browsers expose APIs (REST or Local) that return WebSocket endpoints for connecting automation frameworks to launched profiles.
C
Canvas Fingerprint
A fingerprinting technique that uses the HTML5 Canvas element to draw invisible graphics. The way your GPU, drivers, and OS render these graphics produces a unique hash. Advanced antidetect browsers use ML-based canvas fingerprinting to generate authentic, non-detectable fingerprints.
D
Datacenter Proxy
A proxy hosted in a data center with IP addresses from hosting providers (not ISPs). Fast and cheap, but more likely to be detected and blocked by platforms. Not recommended for sensitive accounts (Amazon, Facebook). Cost: $1-3/IP.
F
Fingerprint Noise Injection
A fingerprint spoofing technique that adds random noise to Canvas, WebGL, and Audio fingerprints. While simple, this approach can sometimes be detected because the random noise pattern itself is identifiable. ML-based fingerprinting (used by MoreLogin) is considered more advanced.
I
ISP Proxy
A static residential proxy — a datacenter-hosted IP that is registered to a real Internet Service Provider. Combines the speed of datacenter proxies with the trust of residential IPs. Ideal for long-term account management. Cost: $2-5/IP/month.
IP Leak
When your real IP address is exposed despite using a proxy or VPN. Common causes include WebRTC leaks, DNS leaks, or browser API calls that bypass proxy settings. Always test for IP leaks using tools like BrowserLeaks or IPLeak.net.
L
Local API
A REST API running on your local machine (e.g., localhost:40000) that allows programmatic control of antidetect browser profiles. Operations include creating, starting, stopping, and deleting profiles. Used by developers for automation workflows.
M
Multi-Account Management
The practice of operating multiple accounts on the same platform (Amazon stores, Facebook ad accounts, social media profiles, etc.) using antidetect browsers and proxies to prevent account linking and bans.
P
Proxy
A server that acts as an intermediary between your browser and the internet. In antidetect browser usage, each browser profile should have its own dedicated proxy to ensure unique IP addresses. Types include residential, ISP, datacenter, and mobile proxies.
R
Residential Proxy
A proxy server that routes traffic through real residential IP addresses assigned by ISPs to homeowners. Residential proxies are the most trusted proxy type for antidetect browser use because they appear as genuine home internet connections. Cost: $5-15/GB.
RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
Visual, no-code automation tools built into some antidetect browsers (like AdsPower and Dolphin Anty). RPA allows you to automate repetitive tasks such as account registration, content posting, and data collection using drag-and-drop workflow builders.
S
Sybil Attack / Sybil Detection
In crypto/DeFi, a Sybil attack involves creating many fake identities to manipulate a system (e.g., farming airdrops). Sybil detection systems analyze browser fingerprints, IP addresses, wallet funding patterns, and transaction timing to identify linked accounts.
U
User Agent
A string that identifies your browser, operating system, and device to websites. Example: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'. Antidetect browsers customize the User Agent per profile.
W
WebGL Fingerprint
Fingerprinting via WebGL (Web Graphics Library) that reveals your GPU model, vendor, and rendering capabilities. The 'Unmasked Renderer' and 'Unmasked Vendor' strings are particularly identifying. Example: 'ANGLE (NVIDIA, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER)'.
WebRTC
Web Real-Time Communication — a browser technology for peer-to-peer audio/video/data streaming. WebRTC can leak your real local and public IP addresses, even when using a VPN or proxy. Antidetect browsers typically block or mask WebRTC to prevent IP leaks.
