What is Dolphin{anty}?

Dolphin{anty} is an anti-detect browser aimed at affiliate marketers, digital agencies, and anyone seeking to manage a dispersed geographical presence from a single place.

It’s based in Limassol, Cyprus, and was founded by Denis Zhitnyakov. Interestingly, there is little information about the company profile on their website. However, its domain, dolphin-anty.com, was created on February 9, 2023, suggesting that it’s a new player in this industry.

Their TrustPilot profile has 100+ reviews, awarding 4.7/5, which is definitely good.

Overall, the company appears genuine and has a good reputation.

Disclaimer: Geekflare strictly against illegal use of Dolphin{anty}.

How Dolphin{anty} Browser Helps?

Dolphin{anty} helps you manage multiple online profiles (ad accounts, social media profiles, etc.) from a single device without getting banned. It’s done by randomizing device fingerprints for each account, which can trick online platforms into letting the activity pass as “real”.

Device (or browser) fingerprint is a digital ID to identify internet-connected devices based on certain parameters, such as IP address, browser user agent, operating system, system fonts, screen resolution, timezone, http request headers, hardware (CPU, RAM, & graphic card) and system language.

In the absence of Dolphin{anty} (and the like), target platforms (for ex., Facebook) can link several accounts to a single device, imposing bans.

Conclusively, you need Dolphin{anty} if you belong to any of the following groups.

Marketer: Create multiple affiliate and ad accounts while avoiding blocks.

Agency: Manage a large number of client social media accounts without changing devices.

E-commerce: Test products and discounts from multiple locations. Easily create and manage multiple seller accounts.

Developers: Web scrape and test websites and services as “real” users.

Top 6 Dolphin Features

I have tried and illustrated major Dolphin features in the following sections. This will give an idea of what works and any limitations upfront.

1. Multiple Profiles

Dolphin{anty} lets you create browser profiles with a click. It also supports creating folders and tags to group profiles based on their objective, team, or anything else.

You can have hundreds of profiles in Dolphin{anty}, and their management won’t be difficult either. Apart from sorting, it has a search feature that allows users to find profiles based on keywords. Besides, it features advanced search filters to sieve out profiles matching specific criteria; check the following screenshot.

2. Profile Synchronizer

How would you manage redundant operations such as account creation and running ads with tens or hundreds of profiles without boring yourself to death or running out of time?

Profile synchronizer lets you perform similar actions across the group based on what you do on the main profile. I have made three dummy profiles to illustrate the synchronizer. The bottom toolbar on the “All profiles” page shows a playback button you can click to start the action.

The next screen is where you choose a master profile before clicking LAUNCH at the bottom right of the pop-up.

To check how it works, I split my Windows 11 screen into three sections and placed the master profile at the extreme left. Next, with Geekflare as the home page, I visited Facebook in a new tab alongside and clicked to open a new account. Finally, I went back to Geekflare and opened an article about Project Management software.

Check out the following video illustrating my brief testing of Dolphin’s profile synchronizer.

Although it feels smooth, it has real-life limitations you must know about. All the screens must be identically sized for the clicks and navigation to work properly. Plus, the “in-sync” profiles should have the exact same extensions and number of active tabs.

Anty’s developers warn that simultaneously accessing a single platform with multiple profiles and the same IP address can be risky. To bypass, you need to configure different proxies (explained later).

The good thing is Synchonizer won’t affect the other profiles you might be running at the moment.

3. Browser Automated Scenarios

Dolphin{anty} is built to support bulk work and cut short your routine to a minimum. It has a visual script builder where you can connect elements to form a sequence of automatic actions.

There are a lot of preset actions that you can simply drag over to the right and connect with each other. The connections are green and red based on their “run” priority. Green will be executed first, and reds are more of a fallback option.

You can see how the above automation works with one of the profiles in the subsequent video.

While I appreciate what the scenario builder brings to the table, for some reason, the clicks weren’t working at all. I have tried putting in XPaths and CSS selectors of specific elements from the Chrome developer tools, but I just couldn’t click. That’s where I have injected fallbacks, a.k.a., additional scenarios to open the URLs directly if something goes wrong.

4. Proxy Support

One of the key elements of anti-detect technology is using different IP addresses for each browser profile. You can either use different proxies with static IPs or a proxy supporting IP rotation. Either way, one should use a proxy, and doing it within Dolphin{anty}  isn’t difficult.

The subsequent screengrab shows Dolphin’s support for different proxy protocols, including HTTP, SOCKS4/SOCKS5, and SSH tunnels.

This setting is available under the advanced section of the browser profile setup.

A slight downside to this proxy setting is that you don’t have the option to input a username and password. Therefore, you can either use the proxy URL appended with username and password (for ex., http://username:password@proxyURL.com:port_number) or set the authentication credentials later in the proxy editing tab.

5. Manage Digital Fingerprint

You get two modes, general and advanced, for customizing fingerprints while creating profiles.

General mode lets you set the profile use case, proxy, and ingest cookies. You can also configure tabs that should open automatically upon profile start.

Although Dolphin{anty} asks users to stick with the General mode, there are Advanced settings that allow more control. This includes changing operating system, user agent, WebRTC, WebGL, time zone, language, location, and more. However, I recommend that everyone read the guidelines about common anti-detect profile creation mistakes before taking the reins into their own hands, as it can lead to fingerprint inconsistency (check the setup tutorial below for more).

6. Profile Sharing and Transfer

Using dozens of anti-detect profiles is not something you can do alone. Dolphin{anty} has this figured out with shares and transfers. You have this in the All profiles interface, where you can simply select the profiles to share or transfer and click the appropriate icon (as shown below) in the bottom menu bar.

Please note that you need to buy additional users ($10-25 per user, based on the subscription) before setting up profile sharing. However, you can transfer externally to others, but beware, as this is about a permanent ownership transfer.

How to Install & Set Up the Dolphin Browser?

Using Dolphin{anty} is extremely straightforward, and even beginners won’t have any problems finding their way. I will lay out the installation and setup in the following sections, covering major steps.

Step 1: Sign Up & Install

The first step is to register at Dolphin{anty}’s website. It doesn’t ask for any payment details, and the entire process hardly takes a minute. Next, you can download Dolphin’s clients for your preferred operating system, such as Windows, macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), and Linux.

Alternatively, you can download the client first and register later. Either way, you’ll need the credentials to log into the Dolphin{anty} desktop app.

Step 2: Login and Setup Profile(s)

The interface will greet you with the login form upon launching.

The next screen is the user dashboard, where you will begin by creating your first profile. I have already set up two profiles, which you can see in the following image.

Beginners need to click “CREATE PROFILE” to open a pop-up where they can configure the browser fingerprint using General or Advanced mode. You can enter the details according to the use case or go through “How to create a profile” on the top right for guidelines.

Remember to enter unique proxies (for each profile) or use a rotating proxy if you’re using only one. Click Create Profile at the bottom right once you’re done with customizing the fingerprint.

But whatever you end up tweaking, do check pixelscan.net for fingerprint consistency. It’s recommended by Dolphin themselves so that users don’t get flagged and banned by platforms for masking their fingerprints.

For instance, I tried emulating macOS on a Windows machine. Though Anty warned me about the issues (see the screenshot above) and I have already read about the “consequences” of such a misadventure in their documentation, I failed to realize its impact on the fingerprint.

Next, I tuned into Pixelscan and it could see that I’m using an anti-detect browser.

That’s why I suggest keeping things simple with “General” profile creation and venturing into Advanced only when you’re 100% in the know. And just for context, this is👇what you’re aiming for at Pixelscan.

Step 3: Launch and Use

Once you’re ready, head over to “All profiles” and click “Start” to launch a profile.

Every profile is an independent Chrome-like browser. Therefore, you should consider how much your local machine can take. Alternatively, you can activate as many profiles as required before your PC says enough!

Can I Install Extensions on Dolphin Browser?

Yes! Dolphin{anty} is Chrome-based, which means you can install all the extensions that you could with Google Chrome. This includes the ones from the Chrome web store and custom extensions (only with the paid plans).

There are two ways to do it.

Step 1: Installing extensions in a browser profile

Every Dolphin{anty} profile works as a standalone browser. You can easily visit the Chrome web store, search for your preferred extension, and install it right there.

I have installed Bitwarden password manager in one of the Anty’s profiles, which you can see below.

Step 2: Installing extensions on all profiles in one go

This is handy in case you have dozens of profiles and want to install the same set of extensions everywhere. Instead of doing it one at a time, click the “Extensions” icon in Anty’s side panel.

Click “+” on the top right (near the search bar) and paste the extension’s Chrome web store URL in the subsequent pop-up. Paid plans also offer the privilege of pushing the extensions to the entire team with just a toggle.

Can Dolphin Really Hide Your Digital Fingerprint?

Yes. Dolphin{anty} browser profiles hide your “real” digital fingerprint. There are multiple portals where you can see it yourself, such as Cover Your Tracks, AmIUnique, Pixelscan, etc.

I personally like AmIUnique since not only does it tell what websites see about your device, but it also indicates the similarity ratio- a scale of your uniqueness among others.

Clearly, you should avoid being too unique. This means don’t set parameters so different that you get flagged for using anti-detect solutions. With AmIUnique and Dolphin{anty} fingerprint customization, you can experiment to see if things work.

You can review the similarity ratios of one of my Anty’s browser profiles in the image below.

If I needed to go ducking platforms detection algorithms, one of the few things I would change is my user agent and time zone. However, it also depends on the target website, its users, and the standard activity hours. Even so, don’t keep anything under 30% would be my general advice, especially if your subject platform is small (~ fewer users).

Testing Dolphin’s Resource Consumption

Theoretically, you can create as many browser profiles as you might need. But one should remember, each profile acts as a standalone browser, and lag will creep in the moment your machine starts feeling the heat.

To test it in real time, I used Windows split screen to give equal real estate to Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Dolphin{anty}. All the browsers were in incognito mode with four active tabs and nothing else. Then I turned to Windows Task Manager to monitor their individual resource consumption. Take a look.

Here’s a zoomed-in version.

At 381.7 MB of memory usage, Anty topped the charts as the most lightweight of the lot.

However, you also need to take in the base Dolphin{anty} application, which also ate 327.4 MB, taking the overall tally to 709.1 MB. Still, it’s manageable since the base consumption remains constant, and the difference will further shrink the more tabs you engage with.

Interested in knowing how it will fare at 10 active tabs? Check this out 👇.

You can see Anty consumes the least CPU (1.9%) among all the browsers. Its RAM expense isn’t bad either, if you don’t count its starter application (Dolphin{anty}).

Overall, I would not worry about Dolphin{anty} being a resource hog.

How Much Does Dolphin{anty} Cost?

Dolphin{anty} costs nothing for using up to 10 profiles at a time.

Paid plans begin at $10/month, with the base tier letting you create up to 60 profiles. All plans are valid for one user, and you must pay extra for additional users.

You can either choose monthly payments or opt for their 6-month or yearly plans for discounted rates.

Dolphin Alternatives Antidetect Browser

You also have multiple other anti-detect browsers, which I have mentioned in the list below. Instead of a full-blown comparison, I would focus on their USPs and how they differ from Anty.

• Kameleo: Unlimited local profiles and limited cloud profiles. Mimic additional browsers other than Chrome, including Firefox, Safari, and Edge. No free plan or trial. Starts at €45 per month.
• Multilogin: Cloud and local profiles. Built-in residential proxy. Mimic Firefox in addition to Google Chrome. No free trial or plan. Starts at €19 per month. 24/7 support.
• Incogniton: Free tier. Chromium-based anti-detect browser.
• GoLogin: Cloud and local profiles. Built-in residential proxy. Free plan and free trial of all the premium plans. 24/7 support.
• AdsPower: Chrome and Firefox-based stealth browser profiles. Free forever tier.

Dolphin{anty} Verdict

Dolphin{anty} has all the basics figured out. Its fingerprint spoofing works, profile management is effortless, and the biggest of all–it has 10 profiles for free. But it would be even better if their developers could fine-tune the synchronizer and script builder.

In the future, I would also love to see it build other stealth browsers (such as Firefox-based) and provide cloud profiles and built-in proxies. However, iOS and Android fingerprints are listed as coming soon on their website, which is good since they make up a major chunk of internet-active users that marketers would not like to miss.

Overall, Dolphin{anty} recieves the Geekflare Value Award for its ease of use, free tier, and detailed documentation.
