Browser Cloud features

  • Instant browser scaling. Spin up hundreds of headless browsers with sub-second cold starts and sessions up to 24 hours.
  • Stealth mode. Fingerprint masking, CAPTCHA solving and ad-blocking to reduce blocking.
  • Session persistence. Cookies, local storage and login state are retained across runs.
  • Geo-targeted proxies. 180+ geo-located proxies make each request appear local.
