Frequently asked questions

Everything commonly asked about Alias Browser — the multi-profile workspace browser with unlimited isolated profiles, zero telemetry, per-profile proxy & VPN, and API + MCP automation. Deeper answers live in the guides.

What is Alias Browser?

Alias Browser is a multi-profile workspace browser for QA testing, ad verification, privacy, and authorized multi-account workflows. Each profile gets its own consistent fingerprint, isolated cookies and storage, and its own proxy or VPN, keeping every workspace fully separate. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux (x64 and arm64), with zero telemetry and a free tier.

Is Alias Browser free?

Yes — the free tier includes unlimited isolated profiles with fingerprint isolation and per-profile proxies, with no account required. Paid Pro plans add the local REST API, MCP server for AI agents, and encrypted cloud sync.

What platforms does Alias Browser support?

macOS (universal), Windows (installer and portable), and Linux — .deb for amd64 and arm64, plus .rpm. Download links are at aliasbrowser.com/download.

What browser engines does Alias Browser use?

Alias profiles run on hardened Chromium and Firefox (Camoufox) engines with realistic, per-profile fingerprints. New profiles use Camoufox by default.

Does Alias Browser collect my data?

No. Alias has zero telemetry and requires no account to run. Profiles, fingerprints, cookies, and proxy configs stay on your device. Optional sync is end-to-end encrypted and can be self-hosted on your own server.

How is Alias different from incognito mode?

Incognito only discards cookies after the session — your fingerprint and IP stay identical, so websites still recognize the device. Alias gives each profile its own consistent fingerprint and routes its traffic through its own network, so workspaces stay fully isolated from one another.

Can I automate Alias Browser?

Yes. Pro includes a local REST API (default port 10108) for creating, launching, and controlling profiles, and a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents like Claude and Cursor can drive real fingerprint-isolated profiles. See the automation guide at aliasbrowser.com/guides/automate-browser-profiles-with-api-and-mcp.

Does Alias Browser work with proxies?

Yes — assign a dedicated proxy (HTTP, SOCKS5) or a WireGuard VPN per profile. The profile's traffic only ever uses that connection, including WebRTC. Alias is bring-your-own-proxy: it does not sell or bundle proxy bandwidth, so you can use any residential, mobile, or datacenter provider you choose.

How many profiles can I run with Alias Browser?

There is no profile limit on any tier, including free. One workspace per project, client, or test environment is the recommended setup.

What is Alias's stance on misuse?

Alias is built for legitimate professional use. Our Acceptable Use Policy requires users to comply with the terms of the sites they visit and prohibits fraud, impersonation, ban evasion, and creating accounts in violation of platform rules. We investigate reports and terminate licenses that breach the policy.

Is my Pro license transferable to a new computer?

Yes — install Alias Browser on the new machine and activate with the same license key. Licenses are managed in the app's account settings.

Can I self-host Alias Browser's sync server?

Yes. The sync server is self-hostable, and all synced data is end-to-end encrypted before it leaves your device — the server (ours or yours) never sees plaintext profiles.
