FAQs
Can I still use Stealthfox?
Yes. Existing Stealthfox profiles still work, but Stealthfox is now a legacy browser core and won’t receive new core updates.
Should I switch to Mimic now?
For most new browser profiles, yes. Mimic is the better default because it’s actively supported and works well with modern websites, extensions, and automation tools.
Can I change the browser core after I create a profile?
No. Choose Mimic or Stealthfox before creating the browser profile.
To switch browser cores later, create a new profile with the browser type you need.
Are fingerprint settings automatic?
Multilogin applies browser profile settings automatically when you create a profile.
Most users should keep the default settings. Change advanced fingerprint settings only when you know exactly what you need to adjust.
