Multi Account Browser: How It Works & 5 Best Tools to Try

Let’s say you have one personal Facebook account and three others of your own.

Regular browsers let you run any one of them at a time. To use another account, you first need to logout the previously logged-in one.

However, there’s a workaround to use multiple accounts simultaneously.

In Google Chrome, or any other regular browser, you can create a new browser profile for each account you want to log in to.

But a new browser profile in Chrome requires you to have a second Google account. And verifying a second Google account requires a unique phone number. Not everyone owns two phone numbers. And when people do have multiple phone numbers, they still have a limited number of them.

So at the end of the day, a person can only run a few accounts at a time on any regular browser.

And that limitation creates problems for businesses that need to manage numerous accounts of their own or their many clients.

That’s why these businesses turn to a multi accounting browser (also called antidetect browsers).

The name gives away what multi account browsers do. Let’s tell you more about them and introduce you to some of the best ones to use.

What is a Multiaccount Browser?

A browser for multiple accounts lets you create multiple browser profiles with just a click of the mouse. You aren’t required to have multiple Google accounts or Microsoft accounts, like in Google Chrome or Edge Browser, respectively, for example.

The tool just lets you create new browser profiles as if you’re opening a new tab. There’s no limitation or prerequisite.

You can create a browser profile and log in to all your personal accounts there. One Facebook account, one Instagram, one LinkedIn, and so on. Then, for logging into these platforms with a second account, you can create another browser profile, and then another, and so on.

That’s the main issue that these browsers solve. But remember, I mentioned these browsers are also called antidetect browsers? Why is that so?

That’s because they also help you avoid account bans and suspensions from websites. When websites detect that a single person is trying to imitate different individuals by creating multiple accounts, they block the accounts that seem fake.

Now the question is, how do websites tell that multiple accounts are being run by the same person or using the same device? Through the digital fingerprint of the browser.

Digital Fingerprint Explained

Every browser has what’s called a digital fingerprint. This fingerprint is made up of dozens of parameters of your device and the browser. They include your screen resolution, installed fonts, graphics card, timezone, language settings, and even how your device processes audio, and a lot more info.

So when different combinations of these parameters have different values, they make the digital or device fingerprint almost as unique as your actual fingerprint.

Websites take advantage of this. Every time you visit a website, it collects your browser fingerprint. So when you use multiple accounts of a website from the same device, the website detects the same fingerprint and blocks your accounts.

But that’s not a problem in multi account browsers. Each of their browser profiles gets its own unique digital fingerprint. To any website that you visit, each profile looks like it’s coming from a completely different device, possibly from a different city (because you can also assign IPs to each profile), with different hardware.

Now, let’s introduce you to some of the best multi-accounting browsers that can get this job done.

5 Best Multi Account Browsers

1. Gologin

Gologin is the best anti detect browser for multi accounting. You’ll find it on top of search results whenever someone looks up antidetect browsers or multi account browsers.

The browser runs on Chromium, which means it looks and works like Google Chrome but with additional features for multi-accounting and anti-detection. Depending on the Gologin plan you purchase, you can create as few as 100 or as many as 100,000 browser profiles. So it’s almost like you can create unlimited accounts.

Gologin also has a free plan too, which lets you create 3 browser profiles.

The browser also automatically configures fingerprint parameters for each profile you create. But you can tweak these manually if you want. You won’t have to do that for most use cases, though.

Gologin is also one of those rare browsers that offer their own proxies. Even the free plan comes with 500MB of datacenter proxy traffic every month. Also, when users sign up, they get a sign-up bonus of 500MB free built-in DC proxies with basic country selection (only 10 available locations for proxies on the free forever plan).

Other than their own proxies, Gologin also lets you set up your own proxies from your favorite proxy providers.

There’s also profile sharing. You can share access to your browser profiles with others using just their email address. You can give three types of access to anyone:

• Can run: Users can view and launch profiles only.
• Can edit: Users can view, run, edit, and clone profiles.
• Full access: Everything in edit + ability to share profile with other people.

Pros	Cons
Easy to use	Mobile app not available for Apple users
Built-in proxies of 3 types	Pricing can be steep on scale
Built-in proxy tester
Full fingerprint customization
Affordable starter plan with 10 profiles
Browser available on mobile (Android)
Regular updates
Best ease of use on the market

2. 1Browser

1Browser is another multi accounting browser.

Its startup screen looks almost exactly like Google Chrome’s color-coded profiles. The rest of the user interface is also the same.

Due to this, there’s absolutely no learning curve. You create a profile, assign a proxy, and start browsing.

1Browser offers 10 free profiles along with 5 free proxies for basic location masking.

But the catch is that 1Browser doesn’t do deep emulations. It just isolates the environments rather than spoofing every fingerprint parameter individually.

The browser manages 8 to 10 fingerprinting parameters. And it does so automatically, behind the scenes. You aren’t allowed to manually alter browser fingerprint parameters.

What this means is that websites, in some cases, might still be able to detect you’re using multiple accounts, since 1Browser doesn’t disguise every detail that makes your browser unique. It mainly keeps your sessions separate.

Also, the free version only keeps profiles for 2 months, then they can be deleted if you don’t upgrade to a paid plan.

Pros	Cons
Lightweight & fast for basic tasks	Limited fingerprint customization
Budget-friendly	Limited advanced features
Proxies already included
No learning curve

3. Multilogin

Multilogin has been here before many others were.

Being one of the pioneers has allowed it to perfect its offerings. The browser has all the features like a standard antidetect and multi account browsers. In fact, Gologin and Multilogin belong to the same category of anti detect browser for multi account management.

You can create browser profiles with a click and either use the automatically assigned fingerprint or customize it manually. You can also assign an IP address to each profile. The browser allows you to create a maximum of 10000 profiles.

Multilogin includes different amounts of residential proxy traffic in every plan and manages it through an integrated Proxy Hub. You buy, top up, and assign proxies right inside the app.

The browser has good Android support, too. You can create mobile-only profiles and run accounts from there, all while using a desktop device. To the sites you visit, it’ll look like you are using a mobile phone.

That said, one jarring thing about Multilogin is the lack of a proper free trial. There’s a paid 3 day trial instead.

Pros	Cons
Good Android support to imitate profiles logged in from a phone	No free plan
Built in proxies	Costly on scale
All plans offer residential proxies	Residential proxies only
Advanced fingerprinting	Limited use of third party IPs
Good support

4. Shift Browser

Shift isn’t an antidetect browser. It’s a productivity browser. The browser’s uniqueness is that it consolidates your web apps and email accounts into a single window.

The platform supports over 1,500 productivity apps, including Gmail, Slack, Zoom, Trello, and Microsoft Teams.

Users can have multiple instances of the same application open without needing to log in and out. You can color-code each client so you see at a glance which applications belong to whom. There’s also a unified calendar that pulls from all connected accounts, and unread email counts appear per inbox without opening each one.

It’s important to note that the Shift browser doesn’t modify fingerprints or isolate sessions the way antidetect tools do.

Pros	Cons
Productivity features	Many apps readily available at any given time slow down the computer
Unified search bar across all linked emails, calendars and drives	Not a dedicated multi account browser

5. Arc Browser

The Browser Company built Arc as if Apple had reimagined web browsers from the ground up.

In most browsers, the main features of most web browsers are positioned at the top in a horizontal structure.

But in Arc, everything a user needs (search bar, tab list, bookmarks, and apps) lies in the left panel.

Arc’s vertical layout also solves the issue when you open plenty of tabs, and managing them becomes frustrating.

There’s also the ability to associate a profile with a workspace, which isolates workspaces from each other with different configurations, extensions, history, favorites, and cookies in every workspace.

Arc has a split-view feature built in so you can see two web pages open side by side (this is something that now Google Chrome does too). Better yet, those split views can be saved as a pinned tab in your sidebar.

Arc has many unique features.

But there’s a big, uncomfortable part. The parent company of the browser announced that it is no longer developing new features for Arc. The company is now building Dia, an AI-native browser meant to be simpler and more accessible.

Pros	Cons
Unique interface and design	Active development of new features has ceased
Superior tab management	Can use significant RAM
Productivity focused
Mac integration
