Kameleo: Anti-Detection Browser Overview
- 17 views
Kameleo is a stealth browsing platform aimed at gaining anonymity by spoofing browser and operating system fingerprints. Kameleo is also quite different when it comes to profile storage as unlike other browsers it allows local profile storage which in turn enables the user to create unlimited files with different settings and not have to sync to the cloud. To achieve browser and device proper anonymity, parameters such as User-Agent, WebGL, and Canvas, among others, are altered, making it difficult for websites and tracking systems to identify users. Kameleo integration with proxy servers helps to change the IP adding level of protection against tracking. With Kameleo, users can automate chores and manage profiles across different devices and platforms.
Key Features and Benefits of the Kameleo Browser
Kameleo is useful for both individuals and businesses in contexts of anonymity as it offers a wide range of tools for changing and modifying a digital fingerprint. It is equipped with powerful WebGL and Canvas emulation capabilities paired with a simple interface and regular updates.
Briefly, the advantages of Kameleo include:
- Browser fingerprint customization. Kameleo provides options for vital components like User-Agent, screen resolution, a list of installed fonts, a time zone, and language, which enables the simulation of different profiles and circumvents the tracking systems on devices;
- Browser emulation. Kameleo allows users to make use of the most appropriate browser for the job at hand such as the Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge browsers among others further expanding their fingerprints.
- Proxy integration. The web browser comes with a built-in proxy manager which allows the user to mask their IP’s for a higher layer of security as well as for avoiding geo-blocking. Various proxies, including HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 protocols are compatible;
- API tools. For automation of the creation and management of accounts on Kameleo, there has been provided a set of functions and subroutines for users who have to manage hundreds of accounts, thus simplifying functions and integrating Kameleo with other tools and scripts;
- Local profiles. The profile and account management information including cache, cookies, browsing history, etc. are not stored in the cloud, but on the user's device.
- Mobile version. Kameleo has Android and iOS applications enabling the users to manage and access their profiles from user-friendly devices. The mobile version also provides the emulation of fingerprints of mobile devices;
- Import and export of profiles. Kameleo has a very convenient feature of importing and exporting profiles, therefore making it easier to shift data from one profile on a device to another or share the profile with other users.
Browser allows its users to keep their privacy and anonymity in check when they use multiple e-commerce applications and other platforms.
Kameleo also possesses a wide array of features but has been designed in such a way that its user interface is easy to understand and use regardless of the user’s technical skills. Kameleo can be useful to both, regular individuals and digital professionals like marketers, SMM and SEO specialists, arbitrators and many others who have to work with a lot of accounts and wish to keep them hidden.
Fingerprint Configuration
A digital fingerprint is a unique signature composed of configured parameters of browsers and devices which its end users can set up during Kameleo's browser configuration.
Multiple parameters that create a digital fingerprint can be altered using Kameleo, such as:
- User-Agent – spoofing of multiple types of browsers, which is: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and OS Windows, MacOS, and Linux within their versions, Android and iOS;
- Screen resolution and orientation – custom defining screen resolution with options of portrait and landscape;
- List of installed fonts – various fonts present in the system thereby controlling how text on the web pages appears;
- Time zone and language – time settings to be followed and preferred languages depending on the selected area;
- WebGL and Canvas – replacement of WebGL and Canvas parameters to ensure that the user does not get recognized by the fingerprints that are created. Attention is drawn to the function of Smart canvas which alters the Canvas fingerprint every time the user enters a site making tracking efforts to be more harder;
- WebRTC – using a proxy or VPN, one’s actual IP address can still be exposed, even after WebRTC is disabled;
- Geolocation – coordinates within a selected IP address to ensure correct representation in the data;
- HTTP Headers – adding extra layers of security by adjusting the HTTP headers exchanged between the web browser and web server.
Through the establishment of a fingerprint within Kameleo, a user is able to alter their identity online thereby making it difficult for any online resource to trace and identify them. Apart from this Kameleo makes it possible to create numerous geographic mobile profiles enabling the user to secure more accounts on the network. The close collaboration of various features as well as customization from the tiniest detail makes the anti-detection browser the best alternative in safeguarding one’s privacy.
Functionality for Teamwork
In Kameleo, the functionality of teamwork is based on the principle of collaborative usage and management of browser profiles. This feature includes cross-user profiles exchange which facilitates shared usage of accounts and data. Kameleo does not have features to facilitate role-based or team-based access control mechanisms. Access to a profile can be achieved by importing or exporting profile files but this means that team members will have to contact even outside the browser. There is minimal level of shared activity in the anti-detection browser, forces are more directed to sharing of data.
Browser Profiles Storage
Here, two options are proposed to the user in the Kameleo browser regarding the storage of browser profiles: the ability to store them locally on the machine, or to have them uploaded to the cloud.
Now, how about highlighting some of the key distinctions in a local storage vs profile cloud storage scenario in a tabulated format.
Kameleo Browser Subscription Plans
Kameleo has three tariff plans which enable the usage of advanced features such as unlimited number of profiles, realistic digital fingerprint masking, support for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, support for HTTPS and SOCKS5 protocols, a ticketing support center among others.
Basic — For Newcomers
The “Basic” tariff comes at the cost of €49 a month and enables the clients to create as many browser profiles as possible, set up unlimited fingerprints, add proxies, and use as many scripts and a support service as possible. The tariff is perfectly suitable for solo tasks.

This tariff plan with advanced capabilities, which comes at a price of around €75 for a month has a full set of features of the Basic tariff but enables importation and exportation of cookie files. In addition, it has enhanced the chances of managing Android and IOS profiles and reading the fingerprints of mobile device’s browser. The tariff enables raising the number of users at an extra charge which is good for working in a small team.
Automation – For a Group of Users
This tariff plan starts at €167 and the final price is dependent on the number of staff in the team and the length of subscription use. “Automation” clients have access to the complete functionality of the above tariffs, plus the possibility of API automation and Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright framework support. This tariff is ideal when team collaboration is essential and the projects are extensive.
Kameleo Browser Interface
Kameleo interface is said to be simple and functional with their purpose being to manage multiple accounts easily. The focus is on having the information clearly structured, and making the most important controls easy to find. The main window displays a list of profiles which can then be sorted, searched and also launched at will. A profile creating and editing interface is also available with detailed fingerprint settings options that include browser and operating system settings, geo location and many others that are easy to navigate as they are categorized.
Browser Profiles
On the “Browser Profiles” tab, users will find a description of their profile organizational features as well as the ability to search and launch a number of available profiles. The brief information that accompanies each profile includes, but is not limited to, its name and status, for example, it may be “created”, or “terminated”. The tab also contains the option to create additional profiles, import/export pre-existing profiles, and manipulate selected profiles by editing settings, cloning, deleting, and more. Therefore, the "Browser Profiles" tab helps all user profile management which makes using multiple accounts and configurations much easier.
Groups
The “Groups” tab in Kameleo is built to enhance the usability of browser profiles by sorting them into related groups. It contains a list of groups created where one can find the group’s name, the number of profiles in that group, the last time it was modified, and the operations that can be performed on it. Users can indeed create new groups, open existing groups, and perform other actions such as changing the names of groups, removing them, and swapping groups with other users. The “Groups” tab assists in the organisation of profiles which is helpful when one is dealing with an overwhelming number of profiles thereby improving the efficiency of the process while making the use of navigation easier.
Automation
In the “Automation” tab of the Kameleo anti-detection browser users have access to automating browser actions with the assistance of external tools. Using this Kameleo application, for instance, the user can automate some web actions such as creating accounts, making purchases, or creating profiles. The tab contains technical documentation and references to code samples for integration with automation solutions: Selenium, Puppeteer, and Playwright. However, it should be understood that all local automation features are subject to acquiring the corresponding “Automation” subscription, which gives full access to all the automation functions. This section’s work is more of an introduction for those Kameleo users that are interested in automating their browser processes with the use of different tools.
Kameleo Browser Customer Support
In this section, users of Kameleo browser find several tools that help solve issues that may arise while using the website. The page will have a search box that allows searching the knowledge base and also has sections organized by topics such as getting started, integration, features, FAQs, and troubleshooting information. There is a support contact button on the bottom of the page. So, using this section is quite straightforward and hassle-free when the user is working on Kameleo browser as he has plenty of ways to seek the relevant information or help in that matter.
Settings
The “Settings” tab in Kameleo enables the user to adjust various parameters of the operation of the browser’s profiles alongside adding or deleting profiles. It consists of a few major blocks or categories, each for a certain group of settings.
Proxy Configuration
“Default Proxy Settings” – frequently used for effective management of global parameters, this block can be regarded as containing a specific global configuration which would be employed by all the newly formed profiles. However, it is important to note that this setting is general in nature, and later on, proxy parameters can be set on each profile created individually.
Profile Settings
This block is directed at changing the standard values on new profiles created. For instance, the user can configure the device or the browser that would be involved, specify a start page, and install extensions beforehand. This makes it easy for standard profiles to be set up by avoiding wastage of time when profiles are configured. Click “Customise Settings” to view the advanced options of settings.
Software Settings
This page has the parameters that are in relation to the functioning of the Kameleo software directly. There are options for example to always show phone connection information in the mobile version or not. Theme selection – Automatic, Dark, Light etc, and other settings that would influence the application’s functionality. Information about the use of cloud and local storage is also displayed here.
The Process of Creating a Profile in Kameleo
Complete functionality of a Kameleo anti-detection browser can only be achieved through the profile creation process which can be done using the following instructions.
- Start by clicking the “+New” option found in the “Profiles” tab in the main menu.
- Let’s see how to set up a profile with extended configuration options, for that select “Advanced settings” located in the lower right corner of the window.
- On the general settings page, type the name of the profile, set a tag, choose the type of the storage, and a preferred language. If you want, you can also select a browser, OS and device type so as to modify the hardware settings.
- In the same settings area, it is also possible to set up a proxy for the profile. To do this, click the “With Proxy” button and you will see the settings window. Now you define the protocol, IP address with port – and if a private proxy is being used, thereby, the username and password. Use the “Test Proxy” button to test the connection.
- The “Browser” tab enables selection of the starting page for the homepage and adjustment of installed extensions.
- Under the “Device” tab, you can adjust and fingerprint parameters such as Canvas, WebGL, and Fonts.
- It is also possible to set the geolocation, time zone, and track the activity of WebRTC technology from the “Location” tab.
- Write down any comments about the created profile in the “Notes” section.
- Change information in the “Cookies” tab only for those profiles that are off at the moment and have been used on at least once.
- When you have finished changing all the parameters, click the “Save” button to save the profile.
- A newly created profile with all settings appears on the main screen in the “Profiles” section. In case you need to start the profile, just click the “Start” button. The three dots icon enables the user to modify, relocate or remove a profile
A profile in the Kameleo browser has been created successfully and can already be used. Its users will anonymously surf the web without any risk of having their online activity tracked since there is additional safeguarding of personal data through the use of a dedicated private proxy server.
To sum up, it can be said that Kameleo is a rather specific software seeking to provide anonymity and confidentiality to its clients while managing multi-accounts efficiently. Among its most important aspects are such things as advanced mechanisms, emulation of different devices and even operating systems, as well as easy access to files and organization and automation tools of browser usage. The program interface contains a great number of settings but it still is easy to use and quite flexible so that all users can adjust it to their needs. Kameleo has tools for almost anyone, from private individuals who wish to conceal their identities to professionals who perform arbitrage, SMM and analytics and need to handle several accounts at a time. Though Kameleo has no free version, it offers a lot of features and functions, which lets the price make sense overall.
