What quick profiles are for

Quick profiles are lightweight, disposable browser sessions that disappear once you close them. They’re perfect when you don’t need to save anything – like testing, quick logins, or staying low-key while browsing.

• Great for testing: no need to clutter your main profile list
• Private by default: everything is wiped after closing
• Fast to launch: no full setup, just click and go

How to create and start a quick profile

1. Go to the “Profiles” tab in the top menu
2. Select “Browser” from the left-side selector
3. Click “Quick” to access quick profile settings
4. Click “Start” to create and launch a quick profile

How to customize a quick profile

You can keep it simple or tweak a few things depending on your task. 

Profile template

Choose a profile template here: our profile template manager lets you save custom setups (like proxy, fingerprint, OS) and apply them in a click. Perfect for high-volume workflows or keeping things consistent across your team.

Pre-made cookies

Multilogin lets you import pre-made cookies into profiles, making them look aged and active right away. Perfect for managing multiple accounts or kicking off automations without delay.

Number of profiles

You can start up to 25 quick profiles at a time. Just set a number here.

Operating system

Pick the OS that matches your real device – like macOS, Windows, or Linux. This helps keep your browser fingerprint consistent and less suspicious.

Browser

Multilogin offers two browser options, both built for privacy and stealth: Mimic (Chrome-based) and Stealthfox (Firefox-based). Each one includes advanced fingerprint protection, so websites see you as a real, unique user – not a bot.

Here’s what you need to know:

• ✅ Use Mimic for Chrome compatibility, powerful automation, and ongoing support
• ⚠️ Use Stealthfox only if you must have Firefox-style behavior or extensions
• 🚫 Stealthfox is legacy – no more core updates (latest version: v146)
• 🚀 Mimic is the future – better speed, active development, and long-term reliability

Screen resolution

Analyzing the screen resolution is a common method for browser fingerprinting. These tips will help you avoid red flags:

• Don't use resolutions larger than your native one: websites might check for differences between the declared resolution and the available screen area
• Be consistent in a team: keep profile resolutions within the smallest screen used in your team (if your device is 4K and a colleague has Full HD, set the resolution to 1920 × 1080 or smaller)
• Don't minimize the window: when Multilogin launches a profile, it's maximized according to the resolution in profile settings; it's best not to minimize the profile, since most users have their browsers maximized

Startup behavior

With this feature, you can either restore previous tabs or open up to 10 custom start URLs every time you start a profile – perfect for skipping the routine and getting straight to work.

➡️ Check the full guide to get set up with custom URLs in seconds.

Proxy

➡️ Head over to the article Multilogin profile settings: Proxy section to get a full breakdown of each IP-masking option you have. 

How to avoid data loss with quick profiles

Every time you close a quick profile, it's deleted along with all its data. By default, after you hit “Stop”, you'll see a pop-up confirmation window. You can choose to close and delete the profile, or cancel and save it as a regular profile first.

Don't want to see this pop-up every time you close a quick profile? Disable it in account settings:

Pro tips

• Use quick profiles to check sites without tracking
• Perfect for burner accounts or login tests
• Add multiple Start URLs to save time launching key pages

FAQs
