Faking device information is a way to create a completely new working environment, preventing websites from detecting that you’re creating an account on an old device. Here are the most common methods to fake device specs on mobile and PC.
1. On Mobile
For mobile devices, using emulators and Boxphone is the most common method. These tools allow users to change system specs like device name, hardware info, etc.
This is especially useful for managing multiple accounts on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and more.
2. On PC
If you’re on a PC/laptop, you have more options to change device information:
2.1. Browser extensions
These extensiosn allow user to change browser fingerprint like User-agent, block WebRTC.
This is a common method. There are many providers on the market.
Antidetect browsers can solve the disadvantages of the two methods above:

- Pros: Free, easy to use and install
- Cons: These extensions can only fake a few browser fingerprint details, so basically, they can only bypass simple sites or be used for basic web browsing.
This is a common method. There are many providers on the market.
- Pros: As the same when using a real computer.
- Cons: The installation size of the tool is large. It's normal for a virtual machine to take up around 60GB. Also, virtual machines do not have graphics cards, so when websites collect WebGL data, they might detect that you're using a virtual machine.
Antidetect browsers can solve the disadvantages of the two methods above:
- Deeply fake browser fingerprint details
- Require less installation space
- Support downloads on multiple operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux)
- Provide many useful features for work: Share/transfer profiles, automation, synchronization, proxy management, member management, etc.
