Orbita browser

Written by Alexander

When you click Run on a profile in Gologin, a browser window opens. That browser is Orbita.

It looks exactly like Google Chrome - same layout, same tabs, same menus. The difference is what happens behind the scenes when a website tries to identify you.

Orbita Browser

Why we built our own browser

Every browser has an identity problem. When you visit a website, the site can quietly ask your browser dozens of questions about the device it's running on: what GPU you have, what fonts are installed, what your screen resolution is, how your browser renders graphics, and more. The answers to these questions form a fingerprint that identifies you - even if you use a VPN or clear your cookies.

Standard Chrome doesn't try to hide any of this. It answers every question truthfully, with your real device's data.

What Orbita actually changes

When a website asks Orbita for information about the device it's running on, Orbita returns the profile's values, not your computer's real values. This covers things like:

  • The browser version and operating system reported to sites

  • Screen size and resolution

  • Graphics card details

  • The list of fonts available on the device

  • How the browser renders graphics and audio (used for fingerprinting)

  • Your timezone and language

  • Your IP exposure through video and audio features (WebRTC)

  • And some more things under the hood

From the website's point of view, it's talking to whatever device the profile is configured to be - not your actual computer.

Each profile is fully isolated

When you open two profiles, each one runs in a completely separate environment. Their cookies, saved logins, browsing history, and session data have nothing to do with each other. Closing a profile saves everything inside it, and it picks up exactly where it left off next time.

This isolation is what makes Gologin useful for managing multiple accounts. The accounts don't share any information at the browser level.

Does it feel different to use?

No. Orbita is built on the same open-source foundation as Chrome, so the experience is identical to using Chrome. Bookmarks, extensions, keyboard shortcuts, developer tools β€” all the same. The changes Orbita makes are invisible to the person browsing.

Keeping Orbita up to date

Orbita tracks Chrome's version releases. This matters because a browser reporting an outdated version looks suspicious to websites. Gologin updates Orbita regularly, and you can update individual profiles to the latest browser version from the profile menu.

βœ… If you have older profiles, it's worth checking that they're running the latest Orbita version. You can do this from the three-dot menu next to any profile.

Orbita on Android

Gologin also has an Android app that uses Orbita as its browser engine. On a phone, Orbita runs natively on the device - meaning the sensor data websites can detect (motion, battery, screen type) comes from the real phone hardware, not a simulation. This makes mobile profiles harder to distinguish from a genuine mobile user.
