An anti-detect browser is a browser environment configured to present a controlled, consistent device fingerprint rather than the browser's real one — masking or standardizing signals like fonts, canvas rendering, and device attributes that would otherwise identify or re-identify a session.

It's used alongside IP masking, not instead of it: masking an IP address alone doesn't stop a site from recognizing the same browser fingerprint returning under a different address.

MaskFlare Cloak pairs IP masking with fingerprint masking in the same session, rather than requiring a separate anti-detect browser tool alongside a separate proxy.
