Global profile settings

Going into Dolphin{anty} settings through the left menu, you'll see all the global parameters that affect all browser profiles in the team at once. They are now divided into three blocks, making it easier to find what you need.

Let's figure out what each setting does and when it's worth touching 👇

IndexedDB is a built-in browser storage, similar to LocalStorage, but designed for larger amounts of data. Websites use it for caching (visited pages, viewed content), and extensions mainly use it if they work with files (for example, photo editors).

🔵 What disabling does: if the profile has "swelled up" with data, it takes longer to open and close due to archiving and synchronization. Disabling will speed up the process, but there's a risk of losing data on sites that store something important there. Each site behaves differently.

The extension file system is the cache, saved content, and settings that extensions create during operation. What exactly is stored there depends on the specific extension.

🔵 What enabling does: all extension data will be fully synchronized to the cloud along with the profiles. Full data preservation, a big plus, but opening and closing profiles can become noticeably slower.

If enabled, new profiles will be saved only on this device, even if you have cloud synchronization enabled. That is, the profile will not be uploaded to the cloud and won't appear for other team members — it will only store on your PC.

🔵 When is this useful: for test profiles, one-off tasks, or when you don't want to upload data to the cloud.

A technology that speeds up video processing by up to 400% when working with H.264 and MPEG-2 codecs.

🔵 When disabled, Chromium stops using the GPU, and all graphics processing shifts to the CPU. Since GPU data is part of the fingerprint, this can alter the fingerprint and break GPU-related spoofing, leaving the profile more vulnerable to anti-fraud systems.

💡 If your PC is weak, disabling it will speed up the browser, but keep in mind it may affect the fingerprint.

Disables loading of any images on pages inside browser profiles.

🔵 Helps save proxy traffic. Once enabled, it applies to the whole team. This setting can break how sites look and work.

Same as with images — saves traffic by disabling video loading on all platforms: YouTube, TikTok, etc.

The change applies to all browser profiles in the team.

Normally, when you close the last tab, the whole profile closes. With this setting on, the profile stays open even if all tabs are closed.

Useful if you often close everything by accident and don't want to relaunch the profile from the app each time.

Enabling this starts profiles one after another instead of all at once. Works within your account.

🔵 When it's useful: if you launch a big amount of profiles at once, they won't all open at the same time and overload the system, they'll go into a queue and start in order. Less load on your PC and network.

Activates GOST encryption support: adds the "--tlsmode=2" flag to browser profiles, which lets you use extensions like CryptoPro and work with sites that require Russian cryptographic standards (government services, banks, Russian corporate portals, etc.).

Hides the buttons in the upper right corner of browser profiles — simply removes this functionality from the interface.

When enabled, the profile name is hidden from the taskbar, and the icon changes to the standard Chrome icon. Useful when you need to keep the look of a regular browser.

Now you know "what and why", but remember that such actions you do at your own risk 😉
