Chrome Profiles vs Anti-Detect Browsers — What Are You Guys Using?

I've been managing more accounts lately and started wondering if I'm overcomplicating things with browser profiles.

For a small number of accounts, regular Chrome profiles work perfectly fine. You can have separate cookies, logins, extensions, bookmarks, etc. It's simple and free.

But once you start dealing with dozens of profiles, things get a lot more annoying.

For me, the main differences are:

Chrome Profiles:

- Easy and free
- Separate cookies and sessions
- Good for a small number of accounts
- Not much control over the browser fingerprint
- Managing proxies across lots of profiles isn't very convenient

Anti-detect browsers:
- Separate browser environments
- More control over fingerprint settings
- Proxy can usually be assigned to individual profiles
- Easier profile sharing and team management
- Batch management and automation/API options

I don't think everyone needs an anti-detect browser though.

If you're running 3–5 accounts, I'd probably just use Chrome and keep it simple.

Where I see the value is when you're managing 20, 50, 100+ profiles and need to keep everything organized.

I'm also curious about how everyone handles proxies.

Do you assign a different proxy to each profile, use a smaller proxy pool, or just stick with one network?

I've also come across MostLogin while looking at some of the newer options. It seems to cover the basics like profiles and proxies, with some extra stuff like team sharing, API/RPA and Cloud Phone.

They have 5 profiles free as well, so might be worth checking out if you're comparing different options.

Curious what you guys are using — regular Chrome profiles, AdsPower, Multilogin, GoLogin, or something else?

Chrome profiles look separate but share the same core. Real isolation needs different environments or VMs antidetect tools help, but they’re never fully safe.

Completely agree. Chrome’s multi-user profiles are essentially just ‘data isolation’ (bookmarks, cookies, plugins), but underneath they share the same browser engine, the same SSL/TLS session cache, and the same system proxy stack. Real fingerprinting doesn’t even need to look at cookies—just comparing WebRTC local IP mappings or subtle deviations in Canvas rendering is enough to correlate those supposedly ‘isolated’ profiles. VMs and separate hardware are the only real solutions. Antidetect tools aren’t 100% safe either; at best, they can be treated as a way to reduce the probability of correlation.
