Open any Bot and select Browser settings to choose its browser mode.
Standard Browser
Positioning
Designed to simulate long-term, stable real-user behavior.
How It Works
Each Bot is assigned a fixed Browser ID.
Cookies, cache, and browsing history are stored between runs.
The same browser environment is reused across runs.
Use Standard Browser When
The Bot needs to sign in to an account and remain signed in, such as a dashboard, admin panel, or social platform.
The same Bot runs repeatedly over time.
The website should recognize a consistent returning browser.
Session stability is more important than starting with a clean browser each time.
Not Recommended For
High-frequency account switching
One-time public-page extraction that does not require a persistent session
Private Browser
Positioning
Designed for isolated, temporary browser sessions.
How It Works
Each run starts with a clean browser instance.
Cookies, cache, and browsing history are not retained.
Browser data is removed after the Task completes.
Use Private Browser When
The Bot accesses public pages that do not require login, such as search results, product listings, or content pages.
Each run should be isolated from previous runs.
You want to avoid carrying browser state between runs.
You are testing scenarios where session persistence is unnecessary.
Switching modes: When you switch from Standard Browser to Private Browser, BrowserAct warns that historical browser data will be cleared.
