Social Browser Features in 2026: Profiles, Proxies, Automation & AI

Updated for the current Social Browser release line. Social Browser is a Chromium-based desktop browser built around persistent, isolated browser Profiles. Each Profile can keep its own session data, settings, extensions and optional proxy configuration, while the main application adds organization, automation and AI/MCP tooling around those Profiles.

This article replaces older descriptions that referred to “Virtual PC”, “Multi User” and “Multi network route”. The current product model is based on isolated browser Profiles, per-Profile proxy settings, Automation Studio, User Scripts, extensions, AI/MCP integration and managed browser controls.

1. Isolated browser Profiles

Profiles are the core unit in Social Browser. A Profile keeps its own cookies, local storage, session state and browser settings so workspaces do not have to share one login state. This is useful for client work, QA, store operations, authorized multi-account workflows and teams that need repeatable browser environments.

2. Per-Profile Proxy Manager

A proxy can be assigned to an individual Profile instead of changing network settings for the whole browser. This makes it easier to keep the intended network route attached to the intended workspace. Social Browser supports practical proxy configuration and validation workflows; it does not promise anonymity or guarantee that a website will treat a connection in a particular way.

3. Groups, Tags and Profile organization

Large Profile libraries can be organized with Groups, Tags and search. Teams can separate Profiles by client, project, geography, platform, owner or operational state and then work with the relevant subset.

4. Automation Studio

Automation Studio provides structured browser workflows, tasks and scheduled execution. Workflows can include navigation, browser actions, waits, JavaScript steps and other repeatable operations. The current architecture also records execution status so failed operations are easier to diagnose and retry.

5. Teach by Recording

Browser actions can be recorded and converted into reusable workflow steps. Recording is useful as a starting point, while the resulting workflow can still be inspected, validated and refined before it is used at scale.

6. User Scripts and Extensions

Social Browser supports User Scripts for page-level customization and extension support, including the current MV2/MV3 compatibility work. These are separate from Automation Studio: scripts are useful for local page behavior, while workflows are better for multi-step browser operations.

7. AI and MCP

Social Browser exposes browser and automation capabilities through MCP so AI tools and technical workflows can inspect and operate supported browser functions. MCP is intended for controlled automation and developer workflows, not as a substitute for authorization or website policies.

8. Fast View and operational controls

Fast View provides a lightweight way to interact with browser content without turning every operation into a heavy window transition. Recent runtime work has focused on change-driven updates and avoiding unnecessary repeated work in hot UI paths.

9. Profile cloning and richer Site Data snapshots

The current release line includes full Profile cloning and richer Site Data handling, including IndexedDB-aware snapshots. This improves portability for modern sites that store application state outside cookies and localStorage.

10. Privacy and browser identity controls

Social Browser includes privacy controls, content blocking and configurable browser identity settings. These controls are for privacy, compatibility and testing. They should not be described as a guarantee of invisibility, anonymity or bypassing website protections.

Which feature should you start with?

• Managing several accounts or clients: start with isolated Profiles and Groups/Tags.
• Using proxies: configure the proxy at the Profile level and validate it before automation.
• Repeating browser work: use Automation Studio or recording, then test on a small sample.
• Building technical integrations: review MCP, User Scripts and the browser API surfaces.

Next step: download the current Social Browser build and start with one isolated Profile before scaling the workflow.
