Today, we’re taking a close look at a new contender on the privacy and antidetect browser market – 1Browser. It stands out among most other antidetects being a completely free browser. There are no paid options or additional purchased content offered.
During our tests 1Browser showed a surprisingly good performance for a newly emerged tool. Does 1Browser actually perform on safety field?
We’ll briefly cover what 1Browser is, as well as:
- top features
- safety performance
- some real world pros and cons
- best use cases.
What is 1Browser?
1Browser is not a usual antidetect or privacy browser – at least visually. The initial start up screen reminds a lot of Google Chrome’s color coded browser profiles: in fact, it’s what they are.
However, here’s what is different from Chrome. According to our tests, 1Browser is able to completely separate the browser profiles on IP and device fingerprint level. It’s not obvious from the beginning – however, if you change the sole proxy setting and check the device authenticity on Iphey.com or Pixelscan, it will most likely pass as an authentic device.
The interface looks pretty simplistic to us, however for people who just need to run a few accounts (or separate their identities from each other) – this can be an invaluable find. There are free proxies included (making the tool actually free), so 1Browser can be an interesting fresh alternative to privacy oriented people.
1Browser Key Features
Key features of 1Browser include:
- Multiple browser profiles: Create and manage any amount of separate browser identities.
- Device fingerprint protection: 1Browser seems to actually protect the device fingerprints, which is surprising for a free tool.
- Built-in free proxies: Set a separate IP for each profile without leaving the app.
- Custom proxy IP integration: User proxies can be easily added and used for each profile.
- No learning curve: The UI is identical to Google Chrome.
Pricing
1Browser is completely free. We have not found a pricing page on the official 1Browser website.
The only possible payment would be buying third party proxy IPs, if free proxies are not enough for your use case.
Pros & Cons
Let’s break down the pros and cons of using 1Browser among competing proxy browser apps on the market:
Pros:
- Easy to use with no learning curve: 1Browser looks exactly like Chrome, hence has absolutely no learning curve – this can be critical for non-technical users new to proxy technology.
- Completely free: This point needs no explanation.
- Consistent fingerprint quality: 1Browser showed surprisingly good results in our independent tests with various device fingerprint checkers.
- Easy free or custom proxy use: Proxies can be quickly chosen or imported with a few clicks.
Cons:
- UI limitations: 1Browser will fit only for individual use without mass profile or team actions.
- New app on the market: 1Browser is a new contender in the field and has little reputation to be yet proven.
Common Use Cases
1Browser isn’t a common antidetect browser, however it can be really effective and comfortable for some of these use cases:
- Social Media Management: Handling multiple accounts on social media without restrictions, raising flags or extra suspicion.
- E-commerce & Dropshipping: Sellers can run several identities to control multiple stores without triggering suspicious activity flags.
- Digital Ads: Marketers can run several identities for various ad campaigns, posts and comments from multiple accounts.
- Bypassing Geolocation Restrictions: 1Browser will quickly allow to access websites blocked in your country.
- General Privacy: Individuals concerned about online tracking can use GoLogin to separate different aspects of their online activities.
Recap on 1Browser Review
1Browser is a completely new tool on the market, but it seems very promising to us. Looking exactly like Chrome, it can be a hidden gem for non-technical people and social marketing beginners.

FAQ
Yes, 1Browser itself is a legal tool. However, how you use it matters. Always ensure you're complying with the terms of service of the websites you're accessing.
Yes. In fact, it’s way safer. 1Browser will mask both your device fingerprint and your IP with a proxy server. It is way safer than VPNs: proxy does not encrypt your traffic, which is considered by many websites to be less suspicious.
The number of 1Browser profiles is not limited, however the main browser profile screen is meant for under 50 profiles. Using more is possible, but it won't be as quick and comfortable.
1Browser is primarily designed for desktop use and can be installed on Windows and Mac including both Intel and M-series cores.
1Browser is completely free, including free proxy IPs.
