What is an antidetect browser, and how is it different from multiple browser windows?
An antidetect browser generates an independent fingerprint (Canvas, WebGL, fonts, timezone — dozens of parameters) for every profile. Multiple windows or incognito mode only isolate cookies; the underlying device fingerprint stays identical, so platforms can still link your accounts. GatherSurf makes each profile a genuinely independent device at kernel level.
Which proxy types does GatherSurf support?
HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, compatible with major residential, datacenter and mobile proxy providers — with bulk import and connectivity testing. Timezone, language and geolocation can auto-match the proxy IP.
Is my account data safe?
Account passwords and cookies are stored encrypted and transmitted over TLS. On team plans, members can only launch the profiles they are granted — they cannot view or export the credentials.
What are the free plan's limits?
The free plan gives you 10 profiles forever, with full fingerprint isolation and proxy support — no payment method required. Upgrade to Pro or Team when you need more profiles, bulk operations, RPA or team features.
Which operating systems are supported?
Windows (10 and later), macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Linux. Profiles sync through the cloud, so you can switch devices seamlessly.
Does it work with Selenium / Puppeteer / Playwright?
Yes. Pro and above include a Local API to start and stop profiles and fetch debug ports, connecting directly to Selenium, Puppeteer and Playwright — or use the built-in visual RPA with no code at all.
What can GatherSurf AI Development build?
Describe a business need in a conversation and generate an editable app or RPA flow. Apps can observe page state, control browser profiles, use an app-local database and produce analysis; third-party AI services use your own provider and key over declared HTTP access.
Is an antidetect browser suitable for web data collection?
It suits collection workflows that need signed-in sessions, isolated profiles and human handoff. GatherSurf can collect, clean and visualize data through RPA, Local API or apps, but it does not bypass CAPTCHAs or access restrictions. Follow site terms and applicable laws.
