Multi-accounting is a popular tactic across industries—e-commerce, social media marketing, and affiliate programs. It's a strategy to increase exposure, boost sales, or drive traffic. But here’s the thing: a simple mistake could get you banned. The culprit? Browser fingerprints.
The Unseen Threat of Browser Fingerprints
A browser fingerprint is like your digital footprint. It’s a unique combination of information derived from your browser, device, and settings. If you're juggling multiple accounts on the same device or browser, you could be setting yourself up for a serious issue. All of those accounts will share the same fingerprint. That’s a red flag for platforms.
Take e-commerce, for instance. Sellers often create multiple accounts to increase product visibility. But if those accounts share a fingerprint, the platform may flag them as spam—leading to bans or restrictions. The same goes for social media marketers. Sharing a fingerprint across accounts is seen as fraudulent activity. This affects not only your accounts but your bottom line too.
The Imperfection of Anti-Detect Browsers
Using anti-detect browsers like AdsPower or MultiLogin may seem like the perfect solution. After all, they mask your fingerprint, right? But there’s more to it. These browsers aren’t invincible. In fact, they can still leak personal data or generate a faulty fingerprint. This can get your device flagged, or worse—your accounts linked and banned.
Here’s the key: you need to verify your browser fingerprint regularly. This is where BrowserScan comes in.
How BrowserScan Helps You Detect Browser Fingerprints
BrowserScan is a tool that gives you real-time insights into your browser’s fingerprint, and in just seconds. Here's how to use it effectively:
1. Authenticate Your Fingerprint
When you visit BrowserScan, you'll get a full breakdown of your fingerprint. You'll see your IP address and its geolocation, including the country and latitude/longitude. The time zone and ISP of your IP are also displayed, along with your browser version and operating system. Additionally, it will indicate whether you're using a proxy server.
If your fingerprint authenticity score drops below 90%, take note. This is your cue to dig deeper into the details and identify any inconsistencies.
2. Detect IP Leaks
WebRTC can leak your real IP address, even if you're using an anti-detect browser. BrowserScan uses WebRTC to check if your true IP is exposed. For example, if you’re browsing from the U.S. but WebRTC reveals your real IP as Singapore, that’s a red flag. This inconsistency can get flagged by platforms, especially social media sites.
Always verify your IP with BrowserScan—this ensures you're not unknowingly leaking your real location.
3. Geolocation and Hardware Check
BrowserScan not only shows your IP’s location but also breaks down details like country, region, city, postal code, and even the exact latitude and longitude. Want to be 100% sure? Click “Show my location on the map” to view it.
Next, check your hardware fingerprint—this includes things like your GPU, CPU, screen resolution, and even more complex data like Canvas and WebGL fingerprints. Here's an example: if you’re using a Mac OS fingerprint, but your GPU information doesn’t match the typical Apple specs, that mismatch will alert the platform. Make sure all of your hardware data aligns to avoid suspicion.
4. Timezone and Software Consistency
Your timezone should match the location of your IP address. If you’re in the U.S., your browser should show a U.S. timezone. If it doesn’t, it might signal suspicious behavior.
If you're using automated scripts to run your browser, BrowserScan will check for signs of robotic activity. Platforms usually flag accounts that behave like bots, so use BrowserScan’s automated detection to ensure your browser isn’t flagged for robotic behavior.
Lastly, BrowserScan also performs port scanning, which checks for vulnerabilities that could expose your personal data to hackers.
Bonus Tools in BrowserScan
But BrowserScan doesn’t stop at fingerprint detection. It’s packed with other tools to keep you secure:
IP Scan: Check the ownership of an IP across multiple databases. This comes in handy if you're using proxies. If the proxy’s ownership information looks inconsistent, it could signal a problem. Platforms are sensitive to IP changes, so make sure everything checks out.
Cookie Translator: This tool converts cookies from Netscape format to JSON format, checking for missing fields. It ensures your cookies are up to snuff and don’t trigger security flags.
Conclusion
BrowserScan isn’t just another tool—it’s your first line of defense. If you’re using anti-detect browsers like AdsPower or MultiLogin, you should be running regular “health checks.” This ensures that your accounts are safe from being flagged.
The beauty of BrowserScan is in its simplicity. It provides actionable insights to help maintain your digital presence and keep it secure and undetected. Run your browser fingerprint through BrowserScan today, as it’s always better to be cautious when it comes to online security.
