Anti detect browser not holding sticky session

Anti-detect browsers are primarily designed for users who need to manage multiple online identities or accounts without being detected as the same person. They're commonly used by:

• Digital marketers managing multiple social media accounts
• E-commerce sellers operating multiple storefronts
• Affiliate marketers
• People conducting market research

These browsers create unique "browser fingerprints" by spoofing various parameters like screen resolution, operating system, installed fonts, timezone, language settings, and hardware specifications. Each browser profile appears as a completely different device and user to websites.

Examples would be ADSpower, Dolphin Anti, or Multilogin

Anti-track browsers on the other hand focus on preventing companies from tracking your browsing behavior across websites. They're designed for general privacy protection and typically:

• Block tracking cookies and scripts
• Prevent cross-site tracking
• Block ads and trackers
• Protect against fingerprinting by blocking or randomising.

Examples include Brave, Firefox with privacy settings, DuckDuckGo browser, and Tor browser.

Crucially, an anti-detect browser tries to appear as real as possible, and each profile's fingerprint will remain the same so it appears to be the same user returning each time they visit a webpage. Anti-track browsers (depending on the configuration) will try to look like a brand new user every session.

Really, everyone has to work out what works best for them. Personally, I use a combination of physical devices and anti-detect browsers.

There are other solutions like cloud phones, anti-detect VMs, VPSs, and hardware spoofing tools. Cloud phones can give you mobile device emulation with different device signatures and cellular network characteristics. Anti-detect VMs can give you full hardware spoofing but they're more of a pain to set up and eat up resources.

Even if your browser fingerprint is perfect, there are network fingerprints like passive TCP/IP fingerprinting, latency, network flow, and whether you're using HTTP/3 and QUIC, which could lead to anomalies and your account getting flagged. This stuff gets overlooked a lot but it's actually a big deal. Your network stack can give you away through packet timing and TCP window sizes even when everything else looks clean. HTTP/3 and QUIC make this trickier since they behave totally differently from regular HTTP/2, and support varies depending on your setup.

eBay will also be doing behavioral analysis as well - stuff like how you navigate pages, scroll patterns, typing speed, mouse movements, or how long you pause between clicks.

Which antidetect browsers do you find best?

Thanks for the clarification f16.
