Browser Profiles and Fingerprint Settings

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.

When you need to reuse configuration, copy from a baseline that has never signed in to a business website, then follow the profile-copy scope guide to assign a new proxy. A copy retains core fingerprint settings, tags, and profile-level extension choices, but not cookies, website sessions, or browser data.

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.

If a site reports a different GPU name, isolate the WebGL vendor and renderer before changing other fingerprint fields. The WebGL GPU troubleshooting guide explains the default behavior, custom-value boundary, and restart check without treating one diagnostic page as proof of the whole environment.

If a page lists an unexpected camera, microphone, or speaker, separate permission-gated device enumeration from WebRTC routing before changing the profile. The media device list checklist explains the default real-device choice, virtual topologies, and safe relaunch test.

If a page switches to touch-sized controls or reports that touch, pointer, and hover signals disagree, check the input-device profile before changing screen or user-agent values. The touch and pointer capability checklist explains desktop and hybrid combinations, actual event input, and full-restart verification.

If a site reports CPU or memory values that differ from the physical computer, compare the browser APIs with the profile’s fixed or derived hardware mode first. The CPU and memory values checklist explains coarse API values, the stable hardware tier, and full-restart verification.

If a website’s storage quota differs from the computer’s free disk space, compare the same origin and saved storage preset instead of treating the estimate as a disk inventory. The website storage quota checklist explains usage, quota, the supported presets, and a safe restart test.

If an audio diagnostic reports a changed hash, keep the profile, browser version, test page, and method constant before editing the environment. The Web Audio fingerprint checklist explains offline audio calculations, the stable profile identity, and how to separate fingerprint results from microphone or playback problems.

If a page reports unexpected text-to-speech voices, wait for the voice list to finish loading before comparing the same profile. The system voice list checklist explains getVoices(), the platform voice setting, and how to separate speech voices from language, Web Audio, and media-device checks.

If a trusted website cannot reach a local application or device, separate the profile’s protection setting from browser permission and service availability. The local port connection checklist explains loopback and local addresses, the protected-port field, and a narrow restart comparison.

The browser version saved by a profile is a launch requirement, while a verified newer kernel already installed on the device can become the version used by the current process. Use the required-versus-running browser version guide to read both labels, verify extension compatibility, and avoid forcing a downgrade by deleting local files.

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.
