Let’s dive in!
What Is AdsPower?

AdsPower lets you run multiple browser profiles that each look like a completely different device to websites. Think of it as having dozens of separate laptops, but all managed from one dashboard.
Standard browsers give you away. Every tab shares the same fingerprint, cookies, and identity markers. Open five Amazon seller accounts in Chrome, and Amazon sees one person pretending to be five.
AdsPower solves this by creating isolated environments with unique fingerprints, so each profile appears genuinely independent. You get SunBrowser (built on Chromium) and FlowerBrowser (built on Firefox). Because most antidetect browsers lock you into one engine, having both means you can match whatever browser a platform expects or rotate between them to vary your fingerprint.
Who actually uses it? Common use cases include:
- Social media marketing across multiple accounts
- E-commerce seller account management on Amazon, eBay, and similar platforms
- Affiliate marketing operations
- Ad verification and competitor research
- Web scraping with authenticated sessions
When paired with quality proxies, AdsPower becomes a full identity management system. The browser handles the fingerprint; the proxy handles the IP. Together, they create profiles that platforms cannot easily link back to you.
Key Features
Advanced Fingerprint Management
AdsPower manipulates over 50 browser parameters to make each profile look like a distinct device. This includes the obvious stuff like User Agent and screen resolution, plus deeper markers like WebGL rendering, Canvas hashes, AudioContext, and hardware specs.
The platform uses noise injection to create randomized variations that stay consistent within each profile. Your fingerprint does not change every page load (which looks suspicious), but it also does not match any other profile in your fleet. The result passes detection tools like Whoer, BrowserScan, and Iphey.
Need a throwaway session? The one-time profile feature generates a random fingerprint on launch and wipes all data when you close the browser. Useful for quick research or testing without cluttering your profile library.
Team Collaboration

AdsPower uses a three-tier permission system: Super Admin, Manager, and Employee. Within those tiers, you can toggle over 40 granular permissions to control exactly what each team member can access or modify.
The practical benefit is profile sharing without credential exposure. Your team members can log into client accounts without ever seeing the actual passwords. Every action gets logged, so you maintain full visibility into who did what and when.
Security options include two-factor authentication, login alerts, and IP allowlists to restrict access to approved locations.
Automation

There are three approaches to automation in AdsPower, depending on your technical comfort:
- RPA (no-code): Record clicks, scrolling, form fills, and other actions, then replay them across profiles. Over 100 commands available. No programming required.
- Synchronizer: Perform an action in one browser window and mirror it simultaneously across multiple windows. Useful for repetitive tasks across many accounts.
- Local API: Connect AdsPower to Selenium, Puppeteer, or Playwright for custom automation workflows. This is where developers build scraping pipelines, bulk account operations, or integration with existing tools.
Dashboard and Verification

The interface centers on a profile list where you can launch, edit, group, or delete profiles. Each profile opens with a home screen displaying your current IP, detected location, and fingerprint status.
This immediate verification matters. You can confirm your proxy is working and your fingerprint is configured correctly before doing anything that could flag an account.
The dashboard shows you your proxy status at a glance, which raises an important question: why do proxies matter so much in the first place?
Why Proxies Are Essential for Antidetect Browsers
Fingerprint masking is only half the equation. Websites track IP addresses just as aggressively as they track browser fingerprints, and running multiple accounts from the same IP will get you banned no matter how unique each fingerprint looks.
Think about it from the platform’s perspective. Ten “different users” all connecting from the same IP address? That pattern screams automation or fraud. The accounts get flagged, reviewed, and suspended.
The formula is simple: one profile, one IP.
Proxies assign distinct IP addresses to each browser profile. Combined with unique fingerprints, this creates complete session isolation. To the website, each profile appears as a separate person on a separate device connecting from a separate network. There is nothing linking them together.
The proxy type matters too. Residential proxies route traffic through real home internet connections, making them harder to detect than datacenter IPs. For platforms with aggressive anti-fraud systems (Amazon, Facebook, Google), residential or ISP proxies significantly reduce ban rates compared to cheaper datacenter options.
AdsPower handles proxy management directly in the interface. The platform supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, SSH, and IPv6 protocols. You can import up to 500 proxies at once through bulk upload and test each connection before assigning it to a profile.
This built-in testing saves troubleshooting time. You will know immediately if a proxy is dead, slow, or geolocated incorrectly, before it causes problems with an active account.
Now that you understand why proxies are critical, let’s walk through the actual setup process using Bright Data.
How to Configure Bright Data Proxies in AdsPower
Setting up Bright Data proxies with AdsPower is a straightforward process that takes just a few minutes once you understand the basic workflow. When combined, these tools allow you to create isolated browser environments with unique IP addresses, which is useful for tasks like social media management, e-commerce operations, and market research.
Here is the step-by-step process:
Step 1: Get Your Proxy Credentials
Before configuring anything in AdsPower, you need to gather your proxy details from Bright Data. Start by logging into your Bright Data dashboard.
If you have not already created a proxy zone, you will need to set one up first. Bright Data offers several zone types, including Residential, ISP, and Datacenter proxies, each suited for different use cases. Residential proxies work well for tasks requiring high trust scores, while Datacenter proxies offer faster speeds at lower costs.
Once your zone is active, navigate to the Access Details section within your dashboard. Here you will find all the credentials required for the connection. Make note of the following information: the host address (typically brd.superproxy.io), the port number (usually 33335), your username, and your password.
Keep this information accessible, as you will need to enter it into AdsPower shortly.
Step 2: Create a New Profile in AdsPower
With your credentials ready, open the AdsPower application and begin creating a new browser profile.
Click the “New Profile” button to start the setup process. AdsPower will present you with various configuration options for your new profile, including browser type, operating system fingerprint, and proxy settings.
Navigate to the Proxy tab within the profile creation screen. Here you will select “Configuration” tab and select Bright Data, as this allows you to manually enter your Bright Data credentials rather than using a preconfigured provider.
Step 3: Enter Proxy Details
In the proxy configuration fields, enter the details you collected from Bright Data. The Proxy Host and Proxy Port are automatically set, but for the Username field, enter your credentials in the format brd-customer-XXXXX-zone-ZONENAME, replacing the placeholder values with your actual customer ID and zone name. Finally, enter your zone password in the Password field.

After filling in all the fields, click the “Check Proxy” button to verify that your connection works properly. AdsPower will test the proxy and display the detected IP address along with its geographic location.
To target specific locations, modify the username format:
- Country targeting:
brd-customer-XXXXX-zone-ZONENAME-country-us - City targeting:
brd-customer-XXXXX-zone-ZONENAME-country-us-city-newyork
For detailed integration instructions, see the official Bright Data AdsPower integration guide.
You now have a working proxy connection. But which proxy type should you actually use? The answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
Choosing the Right Proxy Type for AdsPower
Not all proxies work equally well for antidetect browsers. The type you choose depends on your use case, budget, and the platforms you target. For a deeper analysis, check out our datacenter vs. residential proxies comparison.
| Proxy Type | Best For | Detection Risk | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | Social media, ad verification, e-commerce | Very Low | Higher (per GB) |
| ISP (Static Residential) | Long-term account management, seller accounts | Very Low | Medium (per IP) |
| Datacenter | High-speed scraping, low-security sites | Higher | Lowest |
Quick rundown:
Residential proxies are the safest choice for platforms with strict anti-fraud measures like social media networks and e-commerce marketplaces. They use IP addresses assigned by real ISPs to actual households, making traffic appear completely legitimate. For more details, see our guide on what residential proxies are and how they work.
ISP proxies combine the legitimacy of residential IPs with datacenter-level speed and reliability. They work well for long-term account management where you need a consistent, static IP address. Learn more in our ISP vs. residential proxies comparison.
Datacenter proxies offer the fastest speeds and lowest costs but face higher detection rates on protected platforms. They are best suited for bulk operations on less restrictive websites. Not sure which provider to choose? See our comparison of the top datacenter proxy providers.
