Reviewing SessionBox: Antidetect Browser Features

SessionBox is an antidetect solution tailored to support a variety of users including arbitrageurs, targetologists, web scrapers, online resellers, e-commerce managers, and digital nomads. It is designed to cater to those who require enhanced anonymity and a user-friendly interface that simplifies the creation and management of multiple profiles.

This review of SessionBox covers the features, functions, advantages, and interface of the antidetect browser. Additionally, the article includes step-by-step instructions for creating profiles and setting up proxies within the application.

Features of the SessionBox browser

SessionBox One is available both as a browser extension and as a standalone desktop application. The extension allows users to transform tabs in popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge into isolated virtual sessions. The desktop application serves as an anti-detect browser designed for managing multiple profiles and facilitating teamwork. SessionBox One operates on the platform's proprietary browser, Workstation, which is developed based on the Chromium core.

Three types of profiles

SessionBox provides three types of browser profiles to cater to different user needs: local, cloud, and temporary. Local profiles are stored directly on the user's device and are not designed for team use. Cloud profiles, on the other hand, are saved on SessionBox servers, allowing them to be shared and synchronized with other users of the anti-detect browser for collaborative purposes. Temporary profiles are created for one-time use and are automatically deleted once the session concludes.

Mass actions

SessionBox includes several features designed for executing bulk actions efficiently:

• Temporary profiles: utilizing the Multiple Profile Creation tool, users can quickly generate hundreds or even thousands of temporary profiles with just a few clicks in the application sidebar.
• Proxy assignment: the antidetect browser facilitates the automatic distribution of saved proxies among new profiles. It intelligently matches the time zone and geolocation of the fingerprint to select the most suitable proxy for each account, significantly reducing the risk of account blocking and preventing the reuse of the same IP address for different accounts.
• Other bulk actions: SessionBox also supports a range of bulk operations, including site logins, web browsing, form filling, data collection, captcha bypassing, and image saving. These tasks can be automated using API tools and software libraries.

These capabilities make SessionBox an invaluable tool for those looking to streamline routine tasks through scalable automation.

Changing the digital fingerprint

In SessionBox, users are not able to manually select specific digital fingerprint parameters such as browser type, operating system, RAM size, video card, and processor model. Instead, the platform automatically generates these settings during profile creation to ensure consistency and avoid detection by anti-fraud filters. If the automatically generated parameters do not meet the user's needs, they can initiate the randomization process again.

Users also have the option to enable or disable the following anti-detect technologies when generating a new fingerprint:

• WebRTC IP leak prevention: this feature stops the leakage of the user's real IP address through WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication), which is a protocol enabling direct connections for transmitting audio, video, and other data in real-time.
• Canvas fingerprinting generations: this setting allows for the alteration of data collected via Canvas, an HTML5 element used for drawing graphics and text in the browser. Antifraud systems often use Canvas to gather information such as video card specifications, driver versions, screen resolution, font details, and device hardware characteristics.
• Disable media device enumeration: this feature helps mask the number of connected media devices like microphones, video cameras, speakers, and headphones, which are often tracked by antifraud systems. In SessionBox, this data can be hidden by simulating random values when creating or modifying a profile.
• Mock fonts: this option masks the fonts installed on the device to prevent them from being used as a method of tracking.

By default, all these options are enabled because disabling them would reveal the real parameters of the user's device, increasing the risk of detection and blocking.

SessionBox creates separate profiles for each session to prevent tracking and linking user activities across different websites. To safeguard against anti-fraud systems, SessionBox employs various technologies to mask unique profile characteristics such as installed plugins, extensions, screen resolution, RAM size, number of CPU cores, connected media devices, operating system, and other identifiable parameters that websites use to recognize users and detect suspicious activities.

Browser pricing

The SessionBox application provides three tariff plans: Hobby, Professional, and Teams. Additionally, a free 6-day trial period is available, which is automatically activated upon the first launch of the desktop version of the anti-detect browser. To activate this trial, users need to register and confirm their email. It's important to note that the trial period is linked to a single device; if the account is accessed from a different device, the trial will be canceled.

Hobby

The “Hobby” plan is priced at $12.99 per month. It allows users to work with profiles in a single window, exchange them, and collaborate. Features include the ability to launch sessions in the browser of your choice, set up individual proxies for each account, and store up to 10 cloud profiles. This plan is suitable for professionals working independently who need the convenience of profile management and data protection without the additional cost of team-oriented features.

Professional

Priced at $59.99 per month, the “Professional” plan builds on the features of the Hobby plan.

It encompasses all the features of the Professional plan and adds the ability to create unlimited cloud profiles. This plan is tailored for small teams that require advanced features for collaboration and efficient profile management through the cloud.

When purchasing an annual subscription to SessionBox, the costs are significantly reduced, with the “Hobby” plan decreasing to $4.99 per month, the “Professional” plan to $21.99 per month, and the “Teams” plan to $44.99 per month. If users find that they do not require all the included features, or need a different number of cloud profiles or team size, they can reach out to SessionBox managers. The managers will assess the client's specific needs and offer a customized subscription plan that better meets their requirements.

SessionBox interface

The SessionBox antidetect browser features a unique interface that mirrors its Chrome extension, deviating from traditional layouts with panels, sections, and tables. Instead, when launched, the Workstation browser presents regular browser tabs. Profiles are managed through a pop-up menu, which is accessed by clicking the sidebar icon located in the upper left corner of the screen. Additional controls and options for the application can be accessed via the “Settings” button, also found in the sidebar.

Start page

When SessionBox One is initiated, it defaults to opening the Workstation start page, which users can customize in the settings. Tabs are arrayed across the top, with each tab representing a separate browser profile. To help users distinguish tabs belonging to the same session, single-color indicators are placed at the top right of the webpage name on each tab. Users have the flexibility to modify both the location and the color of these indicators. New profiles can be created via an icon with three dots located at the top right of the screen.

Additionally, a “Tabs” button is available which, when clicked, reveals a pop-up menu listing all tabs organized by profile type. Within this menu, there are two functional buttons: "Reload all" and “Close All”. The “Reload all” button regenerates new unique digital fingerprints for all profiles, enhancing privacy and security measures, while the “Close All” button shuts all open tabs, streamlining tab management and ensuring a tidy workspace.

Sidebar

The side menu in SessionBox One is equipped with features for creating local, cloud, and temporary profiles, alongside a button designated for the bulk creation of temporary accounts. Below these options, there is a search field and lists that display all existing user profiles, categorized into personal and shared types.

Profiles listed can be organized using three filters: “Group”, “Start page”, and “Profile”, making it easier to navigate and manage large numbers of accounts. Each entry in the table displays the name of the profile along with the web pages where they are launched. A notable visual cue is an icon with a crossed-out cloud next to the profile name, indicating that the profile is stored locally and not on the cloud.

Tab/profile settings

Adjacent to the tab URL, you'll find icons for managing various profile elements such as passwords, bookmarks, proxy settings, and fingerprints.

Passwords

This section allows you to store logins and passwords for various websites like Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, and Google, which can be subsequently linked to specific profiles.

To use this feature, you must first provide an account name, then input the website address, login, and password.

Additionally, passwords can be imported from a file on your computer or directly from the Google ecosystem.

Bookmarks

Here, you can save bookmarks that may be used as a start page upon launching the application or when opening profiles. To add a bookmark, simply specify a name, enter the URL, and select an account to link it to. Note that bookmarks cannot be linked to temporary profiles.

Proxy

In the proxy window, you can select and configure a proxy to link to your profile. The SessionBox anti-detect browser supports various connection types including HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5.

Fingerprint

The fingerprint window displays details of the profile’s digital fingerprint, such as fingerprint ID, user agent data, and screen resolution. A “Re-new” button at the bottom of the window enables the generation of a new unique fingerprint with random data, enhancing privacy and security.

Application settings

The Application Settings menu in SessionBox mirrors the structure of settings found in regular browsers and is accessed in a similar manner. At the top of this menu, there are sections that provide access to the anti-detect solution's support services and direct users to sections containing instructions for working with profiles and the API.

Below these resources, there are options to select the default browser that the anti-detect solution opens with. Users can choose from SessionBox Workstation, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Brave. This section also allows users to create and configure a shared workspace.

Further down, users can manage the storage location of local profiles on their computer, toggle the encryption of the active profile cache, manage shortcuts, choose between a light or dark interface theme, and enable the display of the online store timer on tabs.

The final set of options relates to the digital fingerprint and proxy settings previously described. Here, users can enable automatic proxy assignment for new profiles, specify a strategy for assigning servers for new sessions, and activate the option to select IP addresses based on time zone and geolocation.

User profile

This menu can be accessed through the designated icon in the sidebar. Within this menu, you have the option to enable or disable the dark theme for the interface, update your subscription details, and change your password and email settings.
