Profiles: FAQ

How to transfer profiles from other browsers to Octo Browser?​

Migrating to another anti-detect browser often requires significant effort, especially when you already have a streamlined infrastructure and a large number of browser profiles. We understand how vital it is to maintain workflow stability and we are ready to help you with transferring your profiles to Octo Browser.

If you operate a large number of profiles in another anti-detect browser, our Customer Service will consider your case individually and offer you possible options for transferring your profiles.

Please note: we cannot guarantee fast profile transfer in all cases. Depending on the number of profiles, data structure, and your tasks, we will try to find the optimal way to assist you.

We are willing to dedicate time and resources to look into your situation and offer you possible transfer options.

To discuss transferring profiles from another anti-detect browser, please contact our Customer Service. Please provide the following information:

  • the anti-detect browser you're using now;
  • an approximate number of your browser profiles;
  • your tasks (affiliate marketing, account farming, web scraping, etc.).

This will help us assess the complexity of profile transfer faster and offer you a convenient solution.

If you only operate a small number of profiles, you can perform a manual profile transfer by following these guidelines:

  • When generating a fingerprint, make sure to use the same OS as the one you are transferring the account from (e.g., use the Windows fingerprint for Windows).
  • Set Hardware Settings as close as possible to the system you are transferring from (CPU/RAM/GPU).
  • You can make other parameters, such as screen resolution and others, similar to the system you're transferring the account from.
  • We recommend against changing the default user agent, as this may compromise profile fingerprint integrity. Octo Browser generates the user agent exactly as it should be.

Profile stays in the active state and cannot be stopped​

  • Profile is launched on another device. You must close the profile on the device on which it was launched last.
  • If this is not possible, you can force stop the profile. The last successfully synced version of the profile will be downloaded.

When I launch a profile, the Octium browser interface is in Russian​

The browser interface is displayed in the system language. This does not affect which languages ​​are transmitted to sites and services. Languages for websites and services are automatically set based on your IP data, or according to the profile settings.

If you want to change the browser interface language:

  • Enter chrome://settings/languages ​​in the address bar of the browser.
  • Add the required language by clicking on "Add Languages."
  • Click on three dots next to the added language and select "Display Octium in this language."

How can I import profiles with cookies in bulk?​

You can use our API to create profiles and add cookies to them from a previously created cookie file using a loop in your preferred programming language.

A profile closes immediately after opening​

Go to the profile Settings and set any starting page for the profile; or quickly press the keyboard shortcut CTRL + T after launching a profile to create a new tab. The last tab opened in the profile is automatically closed, which in turn closes the entire profile.

When you launch a profile, you see a white or black window instead of the profile interface​

This can happen if certain third-party software is running at the same time. For instance, some online games use such software as EasyAntiCheat, which affects the rendering of the profile interface. We recommend stopping all third-party software and checking if the profile works normally.

When I try to download or upload a file in a profile using Octo Browser for Linux, the profile is automatically closed​

Install the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk package for your OS. Command examples:

For the APT package manager:

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

For the pacman package manager:

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

A profile stops and closes immediately after being launched on Ubuntu 24.04​

This happens due to AppArmor limitations.

  1. Open the terminal on your system.
  2. Set the password for the root user if it has not been set yet (you will be prompted to enter the password and confirm it):

sudo passwd root

  1. Type su.
  2. Enter the password for the root user that you have set.
  3. Type cd /etc/apparmor.d/.
  4. Type nano octium.
  5. The file editor will open. Paste the following there:
abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>
profile octium "/home/*/.Octo Browser/bin/Octium/*/Octium" flags=(unconfined) {
  userns,
  include if exists <local/octium>
}
  1. Press CTRL + O.
  2. Press ENTER.
  3. Press CTRL + X.
  4. Reboot the system.
  5. Launch Octo Browser and check whether profiles are working correctly.
