Launch your first browser profile
Get started with your first browser profile in Incogniton
Create and launch a browser profile on Incogniton in just a few steps. We provide a video walkthrough alongside a step-by-step text guide.
What you'll learn
Create your first browser profile
Choose basic profile settings and add a proxy (optional)
Start a profile or more
Open Create profile
From your Incogniton app dashboard, click the Create profile button to open the profile creation window.
Fill in the profile details
On the Create profile panel, fill in the profile details:
Enter a profile name. Leave the group as Unassigned for now, since you haven't created one yet.
Add tags to make the profile easier to identify and organize as you create more profiles.
Change the browser version if your use case requires a specific one, otherwise the default works fine.
Keep Fill language based on IP enabled so the browser language matches the profile's IP location. To use Incogniton’s free shared proxies, toggle on the Use free Incogniton proxies option and select a country from the list. More on proxies in the next step.
Incogniton sets the profile's operating system to match your device by default, so the browser environment stays consistent from the start. We cover this and other advanced settings in more depth later.

When you're done with the settings, select Create.
Add a proxy (optional) Open the Proxy tab to configure how the profile connects to the internet. Start by selecting a proxy option. Incogniton supports Pre-saved proxy, Custom proxy, Rotating proxy, Free proxy, and Buy proxy.
To use a proxy you already have, select Custom proxy, choose the appropriate connection type, and enter the proxy details provided by your proxy provider.
For a rotating proxy, select Rotating proxy and enter the required API URL supplied by your proxy provider. After entering your proxy details, select Check to verify that the connection is working correctly.
If you need a dedicated proxy, select Buy proxy to browse available providers. Available options include Residential, ISP, Premium ISP, Datacenter, Mobile, and Global ISP proxies.
This covers the basics of connecting and verifying a proxy. For more on managing multiple proxies, assigning them to profiles, purchasing proxies, and troubleshooting, see Proxy management.
Save and launch the profile
Once the proxy check succeeds, select Save.
The new profile appears in your profile list. Select Launch to start the profile and open a browser window with its configured settings, fingerprint, and proxy.
To end the session, you can either close the browser window or stop the profile from the profile list.
Your first profile is now up and running. You can create as many profiles as your plan allows by repeating these steps.
Next, learn how to work with the profile list, status indicators, search, filters, and columns in Browser profiles overview.
