hey 1zebra, great question to bring to the table. it's like asking if you trust your barber with scissors close to your ears, right? look, anti-detect browsers can be a double-edged sword. some swear by them; others think they're one step away from being spoon-fed malware.
i've seen folks bank hard using them, but here’s the kicker: it's all about knowing what you're doing. running them on your main machine is like going to a party and not knowing if it's a trap or a jackpot. ever heard of journeys turning sour because of a shady anti-detect browser? yeah, that's not just a bedtime story.
here’s a little nugget for you—ever considered using a VM? it's like having a safety net while you juggle your IM ventures. now, i know some might gaslight you into thinking they're 100% safe, but always trust your gut and do your homework. that's the real OG move.
keep hustlin’ and stay sharp, my friend. remember, if you're not a little paranoid in this game, you're not paying attention.

This topic really hits home—had to chime in.
I spent the last couple years hopping between anti-detect browsers. The fingerprint masking was impressively granular, but every install left me with this weird dissociation: "Is this computer even mine anymore?" OP's concern about "shady companies" isn't paranoia—closed-source, offshore-registered, TOS stuffed with liability shields. If something goes wrong, you don't even know who to yell at.
I lost a whole batch of accounts once, suspected environment leakage from the browser side. But what can you do? Can't audit it, nowhere to complain.
So my current stance: I don't run any anti-detect tools locally.
Not saying this or that browser is definitely compromised—it's the "put all your eggs in my basket, but I won't show you what's inside" model I can't stomach.
Now I run cloud phones. Environment lives server-side, local machine is just a remote desktop. Fingerprints, IP, device params—all generated upstream. My local computer stays so clean it doesn't even have cache. Amazon, TikTok, FB, six months plus, no incidents.
I tried VMs too, but some anti-detect browsers sniff out virtualization and throw errors mid-run. More headache than help.
OP asked "do you trust them." My answer: I don't, so I don't use them. Different path, same job gets done.
