What Is a Browser Fingerprint and Why Is It More Important Than Your IP?

Hiding your IP isn't enough. Modern websites use 'browser fingerprints' to identify you accurately. Multilogin protects you at a deeper level.

Each Multilogin profile has a unique and trustworthy fingerprint.

What Is a Browser Fingerprint?

A browser fingerprint is a unique set of information that your browser provides to websites, including:

• Basic Information: User agent (browser name), screen resolution, language.
• Hardware Parameters: Canvas fingerprint (how your graphics card draws images), Audio fingerprint, number of CPU cores, RAM size.
• Other Settings: Installed fonts, timezone, plugins...

When combined, this information creates a nearly unique digital 'fingerprint,' allowing websites to track you even if you change your IP or clear your cookies.

The Wrong Approach: 'Spoofing' the Fingerprint

Many anonymity tools try to protect users by constantly changing or blocking parameters in the fingerprint (e.g., reporting a different screen resolution on every page reload). This method is dangerous because it creates a highly unusual and inconsistent fingerprint, which anti-fraud systems can easily detect.

Multilogin's Approach: Creating Natural Fingerprints

Multilogin doesn't scramble information. Instead, it creates entirely new, authentic, and consistent browser fingerprints for each profile.

• Native-level simulation: Multilogin modifies the source code of the browsers (Chromium and Firefox) to change parameters at their core, rather than just faking them at the surface level like extensions do.
• Consistent and trustworthy: A profile's fingerprint remains the same permanently, making you look like the same trusted, returning user every time you log in.

Hiding in the crowd is the best way to be anonymous. Multilogin creates fingerprints that look identical to millions of other real users, helping you blend in completely unnoticed.
