The free version of BitBrowser comes packed with a long list of handy features. But you could opt for one of the paid tiers if there is a feature you feel you’ll need. Before downloading, take a look at the pricing page and decide what you need.

In addition, you will also require secure proxies so you can fully utilize the browser’s features. Thankfully, Webshare offers 10 premium proxies for every completed account creation. Sign up now to claim your free proxies and use them to really test BitBrowser.

You’ll want to download the BitBrowser client immediately, and you can do this in two ways. The first would be to click the Download button on the home page.

This will take you to the download page, which outlines the different browsers supported by the BitBrowser client. Confirm your platform and download the right installer to match it.

Alternatively, you can log into your BitBrowser account; this will automatically prompt you to download the desktop client.

Upon successfully installing the BitBrowser client and logging in, you’ll be greeted with a small environment walkthrough. The next step would be to create a new browser profile. You can do this by navigating to the Browser Profile tab and clicking the Add button.

This is the first section of information regarding your new browser profile. It contains the name of your session and other rudimentary indicators, such as the group you’d like to save the profile in, what platform you’d like to run, and even a two-factor authentication key if you wish to use one.

‍

You can also add custom cookies to your browser profile from this window. However, this is optional.

The next section details your proxy information. You can add a Custom proxy in three ways. First, you can enter the information in the provided field, as shown below.

Alternatively, you could also Extract By API, as shown in the section below.

The last method is to choose an already saved proxy from the Proxy Management list.

Regardless of what method you choose to use, you’ll need to choose a proxy type. BitBrowser supports an impressive list of proxy types, some from specific services. Webshare offers both HTTP and SOCKS5 network protocols, but we’ll be sticking with HTTP for the sake of this guide.

You can indicate the proxy type you wish to use either by selecting it in the Protocol drop-down on the Custom page or the Protocol dropdown on the Extract By API page. Either way, ensure you choose the right protocol to match your proxy.

Once you’ve confirmed your proxy type, you’ll want to enter your proxy details and confirm your settings. You can choose to do this in a static or rotating proxy setup.

While the information for both setups is entered into the same fields, the details are different. You might also be unable to use a rotating proxy setup if your proxy provider doesn’t support it.

You could use three general methods to add a proxy to BitBrowse. For the sake of this guide, we will focus on the Custom method. There are two ways you can enter information in this section. You could copy your proxy details as a single link in the format “IP:Port:Username:Password,” and paste it into the Host field.

BitBrowser will automatically process the information and separate it into relevant fields.

You can also choose to enter these details separately. Regardless of how you choose to do it, you’ll need to retrieve the proxy information from your proxy provider. You can find this information by visiting the proxy list page on your account.

Proxy Type: HTTP or SOCKS5

IP/Port/Username/Password: It is bundled together using colons. (e.g 12.234.230.177:5450:cccttti:password123)

IP: e.g 12.234.230.177

Port: e.g 5450

Username: e.g cccttti

Password: e.g password123

A rotating proxy configuration enhances your browser's anti-detect features. As mentioned, you will enter the proxy information into the same field. However, the information will differ slightly from that of a static proxy. You can find the relevant details by visiting the Rotating Proxy page in your proxy provider setup.

Proxy Type: HTTP or SOCKS5

IP/Username/Password: It is bundled together using colons. (e.g p.webshare.io:75:cccttti-rotate:password123) In this format.

Domain: e.g p.webshare.io

Port: e.g 75

Username: e.g cccttti-rotate

Password: e.g password123

You could either enter the bundled information as a link into the Host field or enter each detail manually.

It’s important to confirm your proxy details. You can do this in BitBrowser by clicking the Check Proxy button at the top right corner. Once the connection has been made and confirmed, basic details regarding the IP will appear on the right.

You can fully edit additional information for your browsing session or choose whether or not cookies and account information are saved.

BitBrowser also allows you to tailor your hardware information so you remain anonymous on different platforms.

Take your time customizing the different settings for your browsing session. Once you’re ready, click the Confirm button to save your new browser profile.

This will take you back to the Browsing Profile window and show you the new profile you’ve created. You can start browsing by selecting the Open button next to your profile.

BitBrowser will take a moment to load your settings before launching a browser that obeys these parameters and uses your custom proxy address settings. Then, you can finally browse undetected.
