1Browser Complete 2026 Review

1Browser is a Chromium-based antidetect and proxy browser that looks and works like Google Chrome, but gives every profile its own fingerprint and built-in proxy. It has a free plan with 5 profiles, and paid plans start at $6/month for 10 profiles, or $5/month billed yearly.

Our verdict: 1Browser is one of the easiest ways to run several accounts without a learning curve. It suits solo marketers, online sellers and privacy-minded users, and now runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.

Disclosure: Gologin, 1Browser and FloppyData are commercial partners of cross-browser.org; see our About page for the full partner list.

1Browser at a glance

What is 1Browser?

1Browser doesn't look like a typical antidetect browser. Its start screen resembles Google Chrome's color-coded profiles, and that is essentially what they are, with one important difference: each profile is isolated at the IP and fingerprint level.

Every profile keeps its own cookies, fingerprint and proxy attached to a profile ID, so the same accounts can be used reliably for weeks. 1Browser masks canvas, WebGL, audio, fonts, screen, timezone, geolocation and other signals per profile and keeps them consistent with the chosen user agent. When we first tested it in 2024, changing a profile's proxy was usually enough for it to pass as an authentic device on Iphey and Pixelscan.

1Browser Key Features

1. Persistent browser profiles: each profile is a separate identity with its own cookies, fingerprint and proxy, and the profile manager includes search for long lists.
2. Fingerprint protection: per-profile canvas, WebGL and audio noise, font and timezone masking, geolocation matched to the proxy and WebRTC leak protection.
3. Built-in proxies: free proxies in a handful of countries on every plan; paid plans unlock residential, datacenter and mobile proxies in 100+ countries with city targeting from one shared traffic balance, plus static ISP proxies.
4. Your own proxies: add HTTP or HTTPS proxies in the common ip:port:login:password format. If you need an outside pool, FloppyData is an affordable option at $1/GB, with one balance for residential, mobile and datacenter traffic.
5. Local API and MCP: create, open and configure profiles by ID over the Chrome DevTools Protocol on every plan, and connect AI agents through MCP.
6. Android app and sync: 1Browser is available on Android, and paid plans keep profiles, tabs and history in sync between devices.
7. No learning curve: the interface and settings are the ones you know from Chrome.

1Browser is updated often: release notes from July to October 2026 list a move to Chromium 153, Android support, city-level proxy targeting, static ISP proxies and the API and MCP launch.

Pricing

1Browser has three plans:

• Free: $0 with 5 profiles, free proxies in a limited set of countries and basic browser speed.
• Basic: $6/month, or $5/month billed yearly ($60 a year), for 10 profiles, the global proxy network with city targeting, 2 GB of proxy traffic, faster browsing and sync between devices.
• Custom: from $9/month, or $7/month billed yearly ($84 a year), for 20 or more profiles with the same features.

Extra proxy traffic can be bought on demand, and larger setups can email support for a custom plan. If you cancel within 14 days of your first payment, you get a full refund. See our 1Browser pricing guide for a plan-by-plan breakdown.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

1. Easy to use: it looks and works like Chrome, which matters for non-technical users new to proxies.
2. Free plan: 5 profiles and free proxies with no time limit.
3. Low prices: 10 profiles for $6/month, or $5/month billed yearly.
4. Proxies built in: every proxy type in 100+ countries on paid plans, switched from a dropdown.
5. Automation on every plan: a local API over CDP and MCP support.
6. Every major platform: Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, with sync between devices.

Cons:

1. Made for individual use: the plans do not list team roles or profile sharing.
2. Limited free proxy locations: the full proxy network needs a paid plan.
3. Sized for smaller setups: the listed plans cover 10 to 20+ profiles; large operations need a custom plan.

Common Use Cases

1. Social media management: run several accounts on social networks without linking them.
2. E-commerce and dropshipping: keep separate identities for several stores.
3. Digital ads: manage accounts for different campaigns and regions.
4. Bypassing geo-restrictions: open sites that are unavailable in your country through a proxy in another location.
5. General privacy: keep work, personal and side-project browsing in separate profiles.

Recap on 1Browser Review

1Browser has grown from a free proxy browser into a complete small-scale antidetect tool: a Chrome-like interface, built-in proxies of every type, a local API with MCP support and apps for every major platform, starting free and costing $6/month for 10 profiles. For individuals and beginners who want multi-account browsing without a learning curve, it is one of the easiest choices on the market.

Alternative worth considering: Gologin

For teams and larger operations, consider Gologin, our top pick among antidetect browsers. It has a free-forever plan with 3 profiles and paid plans from $9/month ($4.50/month billed yearly) that scale from 10 to 100,000 profiles. Paid plans include team members, profile sharing with view, edit and manage rights, and 24/7 support, and there is a Cloud Browser, a REST API and Browser MCP.
