Browser Profiles and Fingerprint Settings

Learn how MaskPilot isolates cookies and site data, keeps browser fingerprints stable, assigns proxies and extensions, and applies profile changes after a full restart.

15 articles

MaskPilot treats every browser profile as a separate workspace. Cookies, site data, fingerprint settings, proxies, and extensions stay attached to that profile, keeping the account purpose, network exit, and browser configuration within one clear boundary.

As the list grows, use the profile tags and bulk management guide to establish names and categories, then narrow the list by name, status, or tag. Tags organize profiles and can define extension scope; they do not change cookies, fingerprints, or proxies.

Build a stable profile first

Choose the browser version and core fingerprint settings before assigning a checked proxy and the extensions you need. Complete sign-in, browsing, and shutdown with a test profile before repeating the workflow at a larger scale. If websites still request a sign-in after reopening the same profile, follow the login-state troubleshooting steps to separate site sessions, cookie clearing, and profile-data recovery.

Handle a failed preflight check

Before launch, the client checks sign-in, the browser, fingerprint, extensions, proxy, and local data. If “Preflight check failed” appears, use the preflight troubleshooting checklist to address each failed item instead of repeatedly changing proxies, extensions, local-process state, and browser downloads together.

Prefer consistency over constant change

Fingerprint settings create a reusable browser environment. After changing the browser version or a core fingerprint value, fully close the current profile and launch it again so the next session uses the new configuration. Frequent random changes are not a substitute for a stable setup.

Prevent concurrent writes

An existing local process or launch operation prevents a duplicate launch on this device. A session on another device no longer blocks launch here, and the latest team run record is not a real-time online status. Before handing work to another device, prefer a normal close and check the sync result. Version checks protect uploads from conflicting overwrites; they do not automatically merge edits from two devices.
