AdsPower is an antidetect browser for managing multiple online accounts through isolated browser profiles with unique fingerprints. It offers more than 20 fingerprint options and over 50 customizable parameters. Automation features include RPA, a window synchronizer, and a local REST API. AdsPower supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and SSH proxies, but does not include built-in proxies. Its listed platforms are Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS, with cross-device sync and Chrome Store extension support. The download page lists Windows 10 or later, macOS 11 or later, and Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 or later. AdsPower also lists MCP connections for AI tools including Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, and OpenCode; the desktop app must be running for these connections. The maker says passwords and cookies are encrypted and stored locally, not synced to the cloud without permission. The free plan costs nothing forever and includes two profiles and zero members. A seven-day free trial is listed.

Microsoft Edge is a free web browser for desktop and mobile devices, available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web. It uses Chromium, supports extensions, and includes ad blocking and tracking prevention with selectable protection levels. Copilot can summarize pages, answer questions, compare options, and help with tasks using open-tab context. Other listed tools include AI-powered tab cleanup, theme creation from words, and a scareware blocker. Security features help block phishing and malware; Password Monitor can alert users if saved passwords appear in an online leak. Sleeping tabs pause inactive pages to reduce CPU and memory use. Energy Saver may provide an average of 25 more minutes of battery life, though results vary with settings and use. Mac features include Spotlight search, Touch ID, trackpad gestures, and macOS visuals. Edge also offers an in-game browser for PC gaming and access to free Microsoft 365 web apps. Feature availability and functionality may vary by device, market, and browser version.
