Managing Browser Profiles

Browser profiles are the core of NestBrowser. Each profile is a completely isolated browser environment with its own unique fingerprint, cookies, cache, and optional proxy. This guide explains how to create and manage them effectively.

Creating a New Profile

1. Click New Profile in the NestBrowser dashboard
2. Enter a Profile Name — use descriptive names (e.g., “Amazon Store A”, “TikTok Brand Account”)
3. Configure the fingerprint:
   • OS: Choose Windows or macOS to base the fingerprint on
   • Browser: Chromium-based (recommended) or Firefox-based
4. Optionally assign a proxy (see proxy setup guide)
5. Click Save

Profile Organization

Groups and Folders

Organize profiles into groups:

• Click New Group → name it (e.g., “Amazon Accounts”, “Client: Acme Corp”)
• Drag profiles into groups
• Use bulk actions to move or delete multiple profiles

Profile Status Indicators

Each profile displays a status badge:

• 🟢 Active: Profile is currently running
• 🟡 Idle: Profile is saved but not running
• 🔴 Error: Proxy connection failed or other issue

Search and Filter

Use the search bar to quickly find profiles by name. Filter by:

• Group
• Status (active/idle)
• Creation date

Editing Profile Settings

To modify a profile, click the Edit (pencil) icon:

Fingerprint Settings

• User-Agent: Automatically set based on OS/browser selection, or customize manually
• Screen Resolution: Choose from common presets or enter custom values
• Language and Timezone: Set these to match your proxy’s location
• WebGL: Auto-generated or manually specify GPU vendor/renderer

Browser Settings

• Start URL: Set a homepage for this profile
• Extensions: Upload .crx extension files to use in this profile
• Storage: Clear cookies, cache, or local storage

Launching and Using Profiles

Click Launch next to any profile. A new browser window opens with the configured fingerprint.

Profile Session Management

When you close the browser window:

• Auto-save session: Cookies and session data are saved (default)
• Clear on exit: Session data is cleared after each use (for one-time operations)

Toggle this in profile settings → Session tab.

Importing and Exporting Profiles

Import from Cookies

If you already have accounts logged in elsewhere:

1. Export cookies from your existing browser (use a cookie export extension)
2. In the profile, click Import Cookies
3. Paste the Netscape-format cookie string
4. Launch the profile — you’ll be logged in

Export Profile Config

To share or back up a profile configuration (without sensitive session data):

• Click the three-dot menu on a profile → Export Config
• Share the .json file with teammates or import on another device

Bulk Operations

Select multiple profiles using the checkboxes:

• Bulk launch: Open multiple profiles simultaneously
• Bulk edit: Update proxy or fingerprint settings across many profiles
• Bulk delete: Remove profiles (with confirmation)

Profile Limits by Plan

Plan	Profile Limit
Free	2 profiles
Professional	100 profiles
Enterprise	Unlimited

Archived profiles don’t count toward your limit. Archive rarely-used profiles to free up space.

Tips for Profile Naming

Good naming conventions save time when you have many profiles:

• [Platform]-[Account Identifier] → AMZ-Store-Alpha
• [Client Name]-[Account Type] → AcmeCorp-Facebook-Main
• [Region]-[Platform]-[Number] → US-TikTok-01

Consistent naming makes searching and organizing much easier.
