How to use ixBrowser and PIA S5 Proxy to improve data capture efficiency and security
Whether you're a business owner, a marketer, or a data analyst, anti-browser and proxy services are essential tools for increasing productivity and protecting your identity. Unlike ordinary browsers, anti-detection browsers can bypass the detection mechanism of websites and simulate multiple identities, allowing you to easily manage multiple online accounts or conduct large-scale data capture, and avoid being banned due to frequent account or IP switching. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the main functions of ixBrowser and introduce how to use PIA S5 Proxy to optimize your online operations, ensure data security and improve work efficiency.
What is ixBrowser?
The most notable feature of ixBrowser is its pricing structure. The browser offers a free version that can meet the needs of most users, supports the generation of up to 10 profiles per day, and each profile can be used 100 times per day. The free version also supports basic functions such as extended functions, configuration file transfer, and member rights management.
For users with higher needs, ixBrowser also offers paid plans starting from just $3.99 per month. These plans include more advanced features, including advanced fingerprint customization, batch commands, API support, and cloud storage. Even the highest level Enterprise plan is only $19.99 per month, which is much cheaper than many similar products on the market.
