Configure Fingerprints and Common Settings

When creating or editing a browser profile, switch to Advanced Configuration to access Common Settings, Fingerprint Settings, and other options. The Advanced Configuration tab on the batch creation page provides the same settings.

Before configuring a profile, identify the proxy location, operating system, and target website requirements it will actually use. The Profile Check panel on the right evaluates the form in real time, but it only identifies obvious conflicts and cannot replace testing on the target website.

Configure Common Settings

Expand Common Settings and enable the options required by your workflow.

Common browser profile settings
Common browser profile settings
SettingBehavior when enabledConsiderations
Block imagesThe browser no longer loads images from webpagesMay affect pages that use image-based buttons, CAPTCHAs, or product images
Disable video autoplayVideos play only after user interactionSome nonstandard video formats may not be blocked
Mute websitesWebpages in the profile remain mutedDoes not stop media from continuing to play
Disable translation promptsThe browser no longer offers to translate webpagesLeave disabled if you need browser translation
Disable save-password promptsThe browser no longer asks to save login passwordsDoes not remove passwords that are already saved
Disable web notificationsWebsites cannot request notification permission or send notificationsBusiness pages that rely on notifications may no longer alert you
Block clipboard readsWebsites cannot read the system clipboardUsers can generally still paste content manually
Stop launch when the network is unavailableCancels the launch if the network or proxy test failsRecommended for profiles that require a fixed network egress
Stop launch when the IP changesCancels the launch if the egress IP differs from the last successful launchA comparison is available only after the first successful launch
Stop launch when the IP country/region changesCancels the launch if the country or region differs from the last successful launchRecommended when the egress location must remain stable

Configure Location and Regional Parameters

Expand Fingerprint Settings and configure proxy-related parameters first.

ParameterModesDescription
WebRTCReal, IP-basedIP-based mode derives WebRTC information from the current proxy egress to reduce network inconsistencies
Time zoneDefault, IP-based, CustomCustom mode also requires a specific time zone
GeolocationReal, IP-based, CustomCustom mode requires longitude and latitude
LanguageDefault, IP-based, CustomCustom mode requires a browser language

The proxy location, time zone, geolocation, and language should normally form a reasonable, consistent combination. If your workflow requires fixed values, document the reason and validate them in a test profile.

Configure Display and Hardware Parameters

Continue down the page to configure the display and hardware information presented to websites.

ParameterModes or values
Screen resolutionReal, preset, random, or custom width and height
FontsSystem default, random, or a custom font list
Hardware noiseEnable or disable noise separately for Canvas, WebGL, AudioContext, and ClientRects
WebGLUse real information or provide a custom WebGL vendor and renderer
RAMReal, custom, or random
CPUReal, custom, or random
Do Not TrackDefault, enabled, or disabled
Port scan protectionEnabled, disabled, or partially allowed; partially allowed mode requires a port list
Hardware accelerationDefault, enabled, or disabled
Battery informationReal or random
Media devicesDefault, random, or custom microphone, speaker, and camera counts
Launch argumentsEnter URLs to open or browser launch arguments; separate multiple values with an ASCII semicolon ; and do not add a trailing semicolon

When customizing WebGL information, check the selected operating system and browser engine together. Avoid vendor and renderer combinations that clearly do not belong to that system.

Review the Profile Check

The Profile Check panel displays a score from 0 to 100, a status of Good, Attention, or Risk, and up to five current issues. It evaluates whether:

  • A complete, working proxy is configured.
  • WebRTC, time zone, geolocation, and language are consistent with the proxy egress.
  • The operating system matches the User-Agent.
  • WebGL information matches the operating system.
  • Resolution, fonts, hardware noise, and port scan protection use the intended strategy.
Profile check and fingerprint summary
Profile check and fingerprint summary

Proxy test results are included in the profile check. If a custom proxy test fails, follow Proxy Test Fails. If the Proxy API cannot fetch a proxy, see Proxy API Cannot Fetch a Proxy. After correcting the network configuration, address any remaining fingerprint warnings.

Important

The profile check is a local assessment based on the current configuration. Its results are for reference only.

Generate a Random Fingerprint

The Primary Fingerprint Parameters card provides Generate New Fingerprint. This action updates selected noise parameters in the current form and is useful for generating test configurations. Before submitting, review the summary and profile check to ensure the generated result meets your requirements.

Save and Validate

  1. Resolve any validation errors in the form.
  2. Confirm that the proxy, operating system, User-Agent, and regional settings are consistent.
  3. For a new profile, select Create Profile or Create and Launch; when editing, select Save Profile or Save and Launch.
  4. Use a test website to validate language, time zone, media permissions, and page functionality.

Avoid frequently changing the fingerprint of a profile that has been used for an extended period. If a change is necessary, record the original configuration and validate compatibility in a test profile first.
