Quick browser profiles are temporary browser sessions that delete their data when you close them.

➡️ To start one, go to “Profiles” → “Browser” → “Quick” → choose your settings → click “Start”.

Use quick profiles when you need a clean browser session for a short task, like testing a page, checking a login, or opening a few URLs.

They’re great when you don’t want to clutter your main profile list with something you’ll only use once.

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.

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. 

Browser

Choose the browser type for your quick profile:

• ✅ Mimic: best for Chrome-like browsing, modern websites, automation, and long-term support
• ⚠️ Stealthfox: use only when your task needs Firefox-style behavior or Firefox add-ons
• 🚫 Stealthfox is legacy: it no longer gets core updates (latest version: v146)

Screen resolution

Screen resolution is one of the browser signals websites can read. Keep it realistic and consistent with the device you’re using.

A few simple rules:

• Don’t choose a resolution larger than your real screen
• For teams, use a size that works for everyone’s device
• Don’t minimize the profile window right after launch, since most users browse with the window open normally

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 for one-time browser checks, not long-term account work
• Add start URLs if you always open the same pages
• Save the profile as a regular browser profile before closing it if you want to keep cookies, login data, or session history

FAQs

Can I recover a closed quick profile?

Nope – it’s deleted as soon as you stop it.

Can I use custom fingerprint settings?

Partly. Quick profiles let you adjust a few basics, like screen resolution, before launch.

Need the full control panel? Use a regular browser profile instead. That’s where you can fine-tune more fingerprint settings and save the setup for later.

Can I use quick profiles for mobile apps?

No. Quick profiles are for browser sessions.

For mobile apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, use Android cloud phones. They’re built for mobile app workflows, while quick profiles are made for short browser tasks.
