Session Settings
BrowserQL Editor allows you to have multiple sessions, each with their own particular configurations. For example, you can have a first section running on chrome, with human-like behavior active, while the second one runs on chromium, without human-like behavior, and with a proxy.
Configuring Session Settings
Session Settings allows you to configure the following for each individual tab in the editor:
- Browser: Choose which browser the session will use. Either Chromium or Chrome.
- Human-like Behavior: Select whether the automation should imitate human behavior, including smooth mouse movements and typing patterns that resemble those of a person.
- Adblock: Toggle adblock on/off in the session. Useful for accessing websites cluttered with intrusive ads, improving page readability, reducing distractions, and speeding up data scraping workflows.
- Residential Proxy: Route the browser's requests through a residential proxy network. This enhances anonymity and mimics real user traffic, making it ideal for accessing geographically restricted content or bypassing anti-bot measures. Note that this will significantly increase unit consumption. Refer to the Using a Proxy guide for more details.
