Kameleo makes it possible to run multiple browsers in a sandboxed environment on your PC. But what about your phone?
About Kameleo mobile profiles
Kameleo lets you browse with mobile profiles on a real Android device or on an Android Virtual Machine (VM). For most use cases we recommend to start a mobile profile on a desktop PC, on our custom-built Chroma browser.
The argument against using a desktop environment is you cannot have the typical touch events and gestures. We have these on the Kameleo Mobile Browser and fingerprint detection algorithms may see this more authentic. If you use case needs this capability, this article shows you how to start change your fingerprint on your Android phone with Kameleo.

The External Spoofing Engine is running on your desktop computer where Kameleo runs. You can start as many Mobile Profiles as you want. All of them for different profiles. Then you can connect to them with your phone(s).
How to connect the mobile to the External Spoofing Engine?
Once the External Spoofing Engine is started on your desktop computer you will be able to connect to it with your Android Mobile device through the Kameleo app.
Important! In order to be able to connect to the External Spoofing Engine, you will have to access the same private network with your mobile as your desktop computer. If you are connected to the same Wi-Fi it will be easy.
Open the Kameleo Android Application and use the Scan QR Code button or insert the connection details manually. For manual connection, you may have to try all the different private IPs of your host computer since most likely only one of them will match with the network that your mobile device is connected to.
Your desktop computer’s Firewall rules can block the mobile app to connect to the External Spoofing Engine.
Once you are connected you can browse with perfect anonymity.
- Your IP will be changed if you are using a VPN or a Proxy on the desktop machine.
- Your browser fingerprint is changed to a mobile device’s fingerprint configuration.
- Your behavior will also be like a mobile device’s behavior. All the touch events and gestures will occur, so you won’t be suspicious.
