Browser Profiles
What is a profile?
Section titled “What is a profile?”A profile is an isolated browser session with its own:
- Cookies and session storage
- Hardware fingerprint (User-Agent, canvas, WebGL, fonts, screen resolution)
- Proxy assignment (optional)
- Browser engine selection
Profiles persist across runs. An AI agent that logs into a site in run #1 will still be logged in for run #2 using the same profile.
Creating a profile
Section titled “Creating a profile”- Go to Profiles in the sidebar.
- Click New Profile.
- Configure:

Starting and stopping a browser
Section titled “Starting and stopping a browser”- Click Launch on a profile card to open the browser in the background.
- Click Stop to close the browser and flush storage.
- A running profile shows a green indicator and the number of active runs.
Fingerprint management
Section titled “Fingerprint management”Fantommind auto-generates a randomised but self-consistent fingerprint for each profile:
- User-Agent matches the platform and Chrome version
- Canvas noise applied consistently (same seed per profile)
- WebGL vendor/renderer spoofed to match the UA
- Screen resolution within a plausible range
To reset a fingerprint: Profile detail → Fingerprint → Regenerate. This generates a new consistent set. Existing cookies and storage are preserved.
Proxies
Section titled “Proxies”Assign a proxy per profile in Settings → Proxies → Add Proxy:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Label | Friendly name |
| Protocol | http, socks5 |
| Host | IP or hostname |
| Port | Proxy port |
| Username / Password | Optional auth |
Proxies are tested on assignment. A failed test shows a warning but does not block saving.
Bulk operations
Section titled “Bulk operations”- Select all → Delete removes profiles and their browser data directories.
- Export (planned v1.1) — export profile cookies as JSON for backup.
