As a rising star, ixBrowser has an excellent fingerprint masking technique. It can generate unlimited independent and unique digital fingerprints for your accounts, effectively preventing account association problems. ixBrowser performs well on iphey, pixelscan, browserscan and other fingerprint detection websites, and has a very high pass rate.

Compared with the mainstream anti-detect browsers on the market, ixBrowser also has a higher price/performance ratio. ixBrowser has a free plan that allows users to create 10 profiles per day and there is no limit on the total number of profiles. If you want to create more profiles everyday or you want to unlock API and advanced cloud storage function, you can purchase packages (plans) which start from $3.99/month.

In addition, ixBrowser has no team seat limit. Users can create a team, invite unlimited team members, and easily manage their permissions to make teamwork more efficient. ixBrowser also supports extension management, profile transfer, batch creation, batch modification, proxy sales, and many other functions.

đź’ˇ Before starting this guide, make sure you have:

How to create, start, and edit a browser profile on ixBrowser

This screenshot shows the profile list on the ixBrowser application

Like many anti-browsers, you’ll have no data to display on the first launch. Follow this guide, and ixBrowser will have no secret for you!

Step 1: Create a profile

To create a new profile, make sure that you are in the Profile List section:

→ Browser Profile (1) → Profile List (2) → Double-check the tab (3)

To open the creation form, click on “+ Create Profile” (4).

đź’ˇ If you try to create a profile with no pre-configured proxy, ixBrowser will display this message:

This screenshot shows the warning message when creating a profile with no proxy on the ixBrowser application
You can either:
  • Purchase a dynamic or static proxy
  • Or continue the creation process using your own proxy

Since this guide will use only the proxy provided by anyIP.io, you can click on “Continue to Create” to resume the creation process using a custom proxy configuration.

The form is well-designed and separated into different sections. The first section is about configuring the Platform information:

Platform Account Configuration

A nice feature that ixBrowser offers is the option to select a Platform when creating a profile. This allows you to specify a username/password and cookie and to quickly access your credential directly from the browser.

This screenshot shows the platform settings on the profile creation form on the ixBrowser application
  1. Select the platform you want to use on this profile. You can select a blank page or choose among popular websites like Facebook, Amazon, and Alibaba.
  2. Personalize your profile by adding a name
  3. You can organize your profiles in groups if needed
đź’ˇ Make sure to configure the group first because doing so during the creation process will force you to start over.

This screenshot shows warning message when creating a group on the ixBrowser application
  1. You can set your username/password directly here if you choose a specific website. ixBrowser will save those credentials into the browser profile.
  2. To make your profile even more legit, you can add some cookies.
  3. You can also add a note to describe your profile.
  4. Once you’ve done with the platform configuration, you can click on “Next Step”

Proxy Configuration

The next step concerns the proxy configuration.

As we told you earlier, we will use a custom proxy provided by anyIP.io for this guide.

This screenshot shows the proxy configuration on the profile creation form on the ixBrowser application
  1. First, you need to select the “Proxy Method”, to specify a personal proxy, you need to select “custom”
    1. You can quickly get a fast and reliable proxy from anyIP.io
  2. Select the Proxy type. For our example, we’ve configured a SOCKS5 proxy
đź’ˇ ixBrowser allows you to choose among the most popular protocols available on the market, such as:

  • HTTP
  • HTTPS (I’m glad to see HTTPS here. Not many anti-browser offer this option)
  • SOCKS5
  • SSH
  1. Specify the proxy host, for this guide: portal.anyip.io
  2. Then enter the proxy port, here: 1080
  3. Finally, you need to copy/paste the proxy username
  4. and your proxy password
💡 Before creating your profile, you can perform a quick proxy connection test by clicking on “Proxy Detection”

Advanced - Fingerprint Configuration (optional)

This screenshot shows the fingerprint configuration on the profile creation form on the ixBrowser application

ixBrowser gives you the option to customize your fingerprint.

Depending on your skills, I would not recommend editing those settings. By default, ixBrowser randomises the fingerprint using the best parameters for you.

Save the profile

Now simply click “Create” (7) to save and create your profile.

This screenshot shows the confirmation button on the profile creation for on the ixBrowser application

Step 2: Run the profile

Once you’ve saved your profile, you will see it in the Profile List as follow:

This screenshot shows the profile list on the ixBrowser application

Click on “Open” (1) to start the profile, and you’ll see a new instance of your browser opening with this icon on the taskbar:

Windows icons of a browser instance in ixBrowser

The number you see on the icon and the color help identifiy your profile.

It is a simple yet very handy addition, especially when managing multiple profiles simultaneously.

đź’ˇ Little tips: you can open multiple profiles simultaneously by using this button:

Open in batches button in the ixBrowser application

The starting page look like this:

This screenshot shows the starting page of a browser in the ixBrowser application
  1. Since we choose an “Amazon” platform profile, the browser automatically opens a tab with the Amazon website
  2. You can see the profile name: here “anyIP - amazon”
  3. Since we used a US proxy located in California, you can double-check your location
  4. Here is the profile ID. It can be helpful to make sure you’re using the correct profile
  5. A quick recap of the user agent you’re using (randomly generated by ixBrowser or manually by you)

Fingerprint control

‍A crucial part of an anti-detect browser is the fingerprint quality. Unless you’re misconfiguring it, ixBrowser offers a great and solid fingerprint for your usage!

The following screenshots show my results on iphey.com and pixelscan.net, which are excellent online services for controlling your fingerprint.

There is nothing more I want from an anti-detect browser than a consistent and trustworthy fingerprint!

Well done ixBrowser!

Stop the profile

You can quickly stop a profile by closing the browser as you would do with a classic browser or by clicking on the “turn off” icon available on the profile list.

This screenshot shows how to turn off a profile in the ixBrowser application

How to edit a profile

Single edit

This screenshot shows how to edit a single profile in the ixBrowser application
  1. If you click on this button, you’ll open the edit form. It is the same as the creation form and allows you to edit your profile completely.
  2. Use this “Star” button to set this profile as your favorite.
  3. Click on the “tree dot” button to access the contextual menu. You can access advanced options from this menu, like cookies & bookmarks settings, password management, etc.

Batch edit

ixBrowser allows you to perform batch operations, such as editing your profiles.
I’ve created another profile to illustrate this feature.

This screenshot shows how to batch edit profiles in the ixBrowser application
  1. Select the profile you need to interact with
  2. Open the “More Batch Operations” menu
  3. Select “Edit Profiles”
  4. Select the settings you want to edit.

The form will look like this:

While the UI is still a bit raw, it’s a very clever feature. This way, you can easily edit multiple profiles.

  1. You can quickly select which settings you want to edit by selecting here
  2. Those buttons will allow you to apply the modification to all profile
  3. Here, you can edit each profile one by one
  4. Finally, click on “Confirm” to save all your modifications

How to manage your proxies on ixBrowser

ixBrowser offers an excellent dedicated interface to manage your proxies.

This screenshot shows the proxy list on the ixBrowser application

To access it, you need to click on “Proxy Ressources” (1) and then “Static Proxy” (2).

If you have followed this guide from the beginning, you’ll see at least one proxy on the list (3).

This is a nice view where you can directly see the basic, yet essential, information:

  • number of proxies available
  • proxy type and all associated credential
  • how many times the proxy is being used, and by which profiles

Add one new proxy

This screenshot shows how to open the proxy creation form on the ixBrowser application

Open the form by clicking “+ Add” (1) and fill the form with all the needed information:

  1. Select the proxy protocol you want to use. For this new proxy, we’ve selected HTTP
  2. Enter here the hostname and port. For an anyIP.io HTTP proxy, it’s portal.anyip.io:1080
  3. If your proxy requires authentication, you need to add the username and password
  4. You can test your proxy using this button
đź’ˇ ixBrowser offers a nice feature for Chinese users. You can either test your proxy using the Global line or through the Chinese line:

This screenshot shows the two available options when testing a proxy

  1. You can add a small description/note to your proxy
  2. Once you’re done and the proxy is tested, you can save it by clicking on “Confirm”

You’ll see your new proxy in the proxy list.

Add a proxies batch

Adding a proxy one by one is easy and can be enough for most users. But if you need to manage 100 proxies, ixBrowser will make you happy :)

This screenshot shows how to open the proxy batch importation menu on the ixBrowser application

Clic on “Batch Operation” (1) then “Batch Import” (2).

While I would prefer to have a big HTML textarea field to copy/paste all my proxies instantly, the batch importation process is quite similar to the process in Ghost Browser, and it’s working just fine.

You’ll need to edit an XLSX file to prepare all your proxies for the importation.

This screenshot shows the proxy batch importation form on the ixBrowser application
  1. You can upload your file here
  2. ixBrowser allows you to download a template and example file. It is very useful to avoid any issues.
💡 here is the quick test we’ve made using the sample document

This screenshot shows a sample document for batch proxy importation on the ixBrowser application
  1. Once you’ve uploaded your file, you’ll see it here
  2. You can start the importation by clicking on “Create”

The importation can take a few seconds depending on how many profiles you’re creating. You’ll then see your new proxy in the Proxy List.

Edit your proxy

It’s super easy to edit your proxies, you simply need to click on the “edit” (1) button that you’ll see on the “Operation” column.

This screenshot shows how to use the operation buttons on the ixBrowser application

You’ll also find a view and a delete button.

The view button will open a wider view of your proxy information, much easier to read than the list.

How to use the ixBrowser API

ixBrowser offers a remote API for users with technical expertise looking for a more automated way to manage profiles and proxies. The documentation is available here.
