Google Chrome multi-tab tutorial : How to Complete IP Isolation?

For e-commerce, when conducting social media marketing, advertising and other business activities, it is often necessary to log in to multiple accounts at the same time to improve operational efficiency and marketing effectiveness. However, if these accounts share the same IP address, they can easily be detected as associated accounts by the platform, triggering security verification or even blocking. In addition, using only incognito mode and using Google Chrome multi-user mode cannot completely isolate IP addresses.

So how to completely isolate IP addresses? The answer is to use the proxy management extension + proxy IP mode! Next, the editor will explain in detail how to use two methods to achieve multiple openings in Google Chrome and complete independent IP isolation. If you are interested, read on.

Method 1: Use SwitchyOmega (ZeroOmega) + Proxy IP

SwitchyOmega (ZeroOmega) is a powerful proxy management tool that allows you to set different proxy IPs for different tabs or windows in the same browser to achieve IP isolation.

In layman's terms, SwitchyOmega is the remote control and the proxy IP is the TV. You need to use the remote control to switch different channels to watch different programs (that is, access different network content).

Directions:

1. Install SwitchyOmega (ZeroOmega)

(1) Open the Chrome browser and visit the Chrome Web Store.

(2) Type “SwitchyOmega” or “ZeroOmega” in the search bar and click “Add to Chrome”.

(3) After installation, enable the extension on the browser extension management page (chrome://extensions/).

2. Get the proxy

To achieve true IP isolation, you need to use a proxy IP service. You can use IPFoxy, which provides IP addresses around the world and a variety of protocols to basically meet your cross-border online business needs.

• Go to the IPFoxy official website and purchase the proxy IP you need. You can choose residential IP, data center IP or static IP as the proxy type to avoid abnormalities detected by the platform.

• Note the proxy’s IP address, port, and protocol (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5).

3. Configure SwitchyOmega (ZeroOmega)

(1) Open the SwitchyOmega (ZeroOmega) extension and click “New Scenario”.

(2) Select the proxy type (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5), fill in the proxy IP address and port, and click "Apply Changes".

(3) Next, you can create multiple proxy configurations according to your needs, for example:

• TikTok Account 1 → US Agent

• TikTok Account 2 → UK Agent

• TikTok Account 3 → Canadian Agent

...

(4) Enable proxy: Select the configured proxy rules to ensure that each window or tab runs under a different IP.

Advantages:

• Flexible IP switching without having to repeatedly change browser configurations.

• Applicable to platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, and Google Ads, reducing the risk of multiple account associations.

• Support SOCKS5/HTTP/HTTPS proxies to improve privacy and stability.

Method 2: Use SessionBox + Proxy IP

SessionBox allows you to create multiple independent sessions in the same browser. Each session is completely independent and can log in to multiple accounts at the same time without sharing cookies or local storage.

1. Install SessionBox

Just like method one, just search for it in the Chrome Web Store and use it.

2. Configure proxy IP

(1) Open SessionBox and find the session you created.

(2) Click the “gear” icon (Settings) to enter advanced settings.

(3) Find the "Proxy" option and select "Manual Proxy".

(4) Enter the proxy IP information you purchased in IPFoxy:

• Proxy Protocol: Select HTTP / HTTPS / SOCKS5 (depending on the type provided by your proxy service).

• Proxy IP address

• Port number

• Username & Password (if your proxy IP requires authentication).

(5) Click "Save" and then reopen the session window to achieve account IP isolation.

Advantages:

• The same browser can log in to multiple accounts, which is suitable for e-commerce sellers and social media operators.

• Cookies and local storage will not be shared to avoid account association.

• Used in conjunction with proxy IP to achieve true IP isolation.

Finally, I want to say that through the above two methods, you can easily achieve multiple openings of Google Chrome and complete independent IP isolation. I hope this article can help you use Google Chrome better and improve your work efficiency!
