The short answer
An antidetect browser is a modified Chromium or Firefox that lets you create many profiles. Each profile gets its own consistent fingerprint (screen, fonts, time zone, WebGL), its own cookies and storage, and its own proxy.
Why people pair them with proxies
The browser separates the fingerprints; the proxy separates the IPs. Agencies, e-commerce sellers and ad buyers use the pair to manage many accounts without one ban spreading to the others. Always check each platform's terms, since many limit multiple accounts.
Also known as
Anti-detect browser, multi-account browser, fingerprint browser, multilogin browser.
