As we have mentioned, the key difference between Octo Browser and AdsPower is the level of security and data protection.
In AdsPower profile data is stored in cloud storage, allowing access from any device and sharing it with team members. Users can choose to synchronize data with the cloud storage or store it locally on their device.
Extra security features in AdsPower include two-factor authentication; additionally, AdsPower offers:
- a function notifying the user about unsuccessful login attempts;
- the ability to set a list of IP addresses allowed for authorization;
- the ability to activate priority for HTTPS connections and create a whitelist of websites;
- bug bounty programs for finding flaws in the browser.
For an additional level of protection, AdsPower uses data encryption and also offers to install extensions from the secure Chrome Web Store.
However, despite multiple additional security features that AdsPower offers, the browser is not sufficiently secure and reliable at the fundamental level. One reason for this is centralized storage: if an infected file, pretending to be an extension update, gets in, it is automatically distributed to all users. Most likely, this was the cause of the user cryptocurrency wallet data leak in January 2025.
Octo Browser is more secure because developers took into account all possible vectors of hacker attacks during the development of the browser architecture. For additional protection, Octo offers
two-factor authentication, and profile data is stored in encrypted form on European servers. The profiles themselves are encrypted using multiple components. If an attacker does not have access to all of these components, it is impossible to decrypt the profile; we have explained this in more detail in our
article on user data protection.
However, in anti-detect browsers too many people may have access to profiles, so Octo Browser has implemented a feature not found in any other anti-detect browser:
profile passwords. A password-protected profile cannot be launched without knowing the password, even if someone gains access to the device.
