Before you start using BP Tracker Blocker

BP Tracker Blocker blocks common third-party advertising, analytics, attribution, social pixel, and session replay trackers before matching requests load. It also includes optional fingerprinting protection and local allow/block controls.

Blocking can change website behavior. If a site breaks, use the Recent, Allow, and current-site protection controls to allow only what the site needs.

1. Read the Recent trackers stopped screen

The Recent tab is your activity log. It shows tracker names, the website where each tracker appeared, block counts, and blocked request details.

1. Open BP Tracker Blocker from the toolbar.
2. Keep Protection is ON unless you intentionally need to pause it.
3. Open Recent to see blocked trackers.
4. Use the counts to understand how many tracker requests were stopped today and in total.
5. Use Clear log when you want to reset recent activity visibility.
6. Use Allow only when a site needs a blocked service to work correctly.

2. Allow a tracker or trust a website

Sometimes a website needs a blocked service for login, checkout, video playback, maps, support chat, or analytics-driven functionality. Use the Allow tab to make precise exceptions.

1. Use the current-site button to disable protection on one trusted website.
2. Add a domain under Site allowlist when protection should be disabled there.
3. Add a custom allow rule for a tracker domain, URL, or wildcard pattern.
4. Review allowed built-in trackers and choose Block again when the exception is no longer needed.

Allow decisions are global when they disable a built-in tracker rule, so allow the narrowest pattern that solves the site problem.

3. Add custom blocking rules

The Block tab lets you add domains, URLs, or wildcard patterns that should be blocked. This is useful when you find a tracker that is not in the built-in catalog or EasyPrivacy subscription rules.

1. Open the Block tab.
2. Add a domain, URL, or wildcard pattern such as *.tracker.example/*.
3. Rename, pause, resume, edit, or delete custom rules as needed.
4. Search built-in rules by name or category.
5. Edit a built-in tracker URL if you need a local adjustment.
6. Export, import, or reset rule decisions when managing rule sets.

5. Configure browser privacy signals

The Settings tab controls page alerts, Do Not Track, and fingerprinting protection. These controls help reduce common browser privacy signals, but websites may still use other identification methods.

1. Enable page alerts if you want an on-page count of trackers blocked.
2. Enable Send Do Not Track when the browser policy allows extension control.
3. Enable Fingerprinting protection to reduce canvas, audio, font, and WebGL signals.
4. Disable fingerprinting protection on workflows where strict privacy behavior breaks a site.

6. Use Help when a site breaks

If a website behaves incorrectly after blocking trackers, start with Recent to see what was stopped. Then decide whether to allow one tracker, add a custom allow rule, or disable protection on the current trusted site.

That approach preserves privacy on other sites while solving compatibility problems on the page you care about.

Before you start using BP Proxy Switcher

BP Proxy Switcher manages proxies you already have. The extension does not provide proxy servers by itself, so prepare your proxy list before starting. A proxy list usually contains an IP address, port, optional username, optional password, and optional label.

Use a separate browser profile if you need different proxy sessions at the same time. Browser proxy APIs usually apply the proxy at the browser profile level, not as a separate proxy per individual tab. For device-level Wi-Fi routing on iOS, follow our iPhone proxy setup guide. For phones that need a network-level route, use the Android Wi-Fi proxy setup.

1. Add proxies to BP Proxy Switcher

Open the extension from the browser toolbar, go to the Proxy tab, and click edit. This opens the proxy list editor where you paste one proxy per line.

1. Select the proxy type: HTTP(S) or SOCKS5.
2. Paste one proxy per line in the editor.
3. Use labels when you want friendly names in the dropdown, such as US DC 01 or London residential.
4. Enable Detect country if you want country names and flags beside each proxy.
5. Keep Test each proxy enabled when you want initial proxy health results.
6. Click OK to save the proxy list.

Country detection is optional. When enabled, the proxy IP addresses you entered are sent to testmyproxies.com so the extension can retrieve country codes for flags and country names.

2. Switch proxies from the toolbar

After your proxies are saved, use the proxy selector to choose the active proxy. BP Proxy Switcher updates the browser proxy settings immediately. You can search by label, IP address, port, country, or test status.

1. Open the Proxy tab.
2. Use the searchable dropdown to find the proxy you want.
3. Select the proxy to apply it to the browser profile.
4. Use the addon on/off switch if you want to temporarily disable BP Proxy Switcher.
5. Enable Auto-reload the tab on proxy switch when the current website should reload after a proxy changes.
6. Use the current-proxy box and notifications to confirm which proxy is active.

If a website still shows old session data after changing proxies, clear cookies/cache or reload the tab. Some websites combine IP address, cookies, local storage, browser fingerprinting, and account data.

3. Test proxy health and speed

The Tester tab checks proxy availability with a test URL and optional required text. This is more useful than a basic ping because you can test the exact page or response pattern your workflow needs.

1. Open the Tester tab.
2. Enter a Test URL, such as a page you control or a stable page that should load through every proxy.
3. Enter Required text in response when you want the proxy to be marked good only if that text appears.
4. Click Check proxies now.
5. Watch the progress bar and current test status.
6. Review good, slow, and bad classifications when the test completes.
7. Optionally enable Automatically remove bad/slower than and set the millisecond limit.

Automatic testing can run every chosen number of minutes. The tester shows Last autocheck and Next autocheck so you know when scheduled checks ran and when they will run again.

5. Clean cookies, cache and browser data on proxy change

The Delete tab controls what browser data should be removed when a proxy changes. This is useful because websites may connect your old and new proxy sessions through cookies, cache, local storage, IndexedDB, service workers, downloads, history, or form data.

1. Open the Delete tab.
2. Select the browsing-data categories you want to remove on proxy change.
3. Choose the time range, such as 1 hour, 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, or a very long range.
4. Use Force delete now when you want to clean immediately without waiting for the next proxy switch.
5. Click OK to save cleanup settings.

For strict workflows, combine cleanup with privacy protection and a separate browser profile.

8. Configure notifications, current proxy box and sync

The Settings tab lets you decide which helper messages should appear while you work. You can show the current proxy box on webpages and choose notification categories for proxy changes, rotation, testing, cleanup, and blocking status.

1. Enable Show current proxy box on webpages if you want visible confirmation of the active proxy.
2. Choose which notification categories should appear on pages.
3. Enable Sync with browser account only if you want browser-account sync.
4. Use Upload Now to push current settings to sync storage.
5. Use Download Now to restore synced settings on another signed-in browser profile.

Sync can include proxy lists and saved proxy credentials. Keep sync disabled if you do not want proxy credentials stored through the browser account sync system.

Before you start using BP Geolocation Spoofer

BP Geolocation Spoofer changes the browser JavaScript Geolocation API response visible to websites. When a page asks for navigator.geolocation, the page can receive your selected latitude, longitude, accuracy, and optional altitude.

This is not a VPN and not a proxy. It does not change your IP address, timezone, operating-system GPS, browser language, browser locale, or signed-in account location.

1. Spoof browser geolocation

The Spoof Location tab controls the active location. Use the global toggle at the top to turn spoofing on or off, then choose the location profile websites should receive.

1. Open BP Geolocation Spoofer from the browser toolbar.
2. Make sure Spoofing is on.
3. Open Spoof Location.
4. Choose a preset city, saved custom location, or Use my real location.
5. Refresh the website you are testing so it requests geolocation again.
6. Confirm the selected profile with the page location badge if it is enabled.

2. Choose preset or saved location profiles

BP Geolocation Spoofer includes preset city profiles such as Bucharest, New York, London, Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, and San Francisco. Saved custom profiles appear in the same selector.

Use profiles for repeatable QA. For example, test the same booking, retail, delivery, weather, or local search flow from several cities without manually entering coordinates every time.

3. Add custom coordinates

Use Add Location when the preset cities are not enough. You can search with OpenStreetMap lookup or enter latitude and longitude manually.

1. Open Add Location.
2. Search for a place with OpenStreetMap lookup or type a name manually.
3. Enter latitude between -90 and 90.
4. Enter longitude between -180 and 180.
5. Set accuracy in meters.
6. Optionally set altitude in meters.
7. Save the location and select it from Spoof Location.

OpenStreetMap lookup sends only the typed location query to the lookup provider when you use autocomplete.

4. Let selected sites use real browser location

Some trusted sites should bypass spoofing. Use Real Location Sites to add domains that should receive real browser geolocation while spoofing remains active elsewhere.

1. Open Real Location Sites.
2. Enter a trusted domain such as maps.example.com.
3. Click Use real location here.
4. Refresh that website.
5. Remove the domain later when it should receive spoofed location again.

5. Use the page location badge

The Settings tab includes Show page location badge. When enabled, a small movable badge appears on pages while spoofing is active so you can confirm the active location without reopening the popup.

You can show, move, hide, or disable the badge depending on the workflow. It is especially useful during QA sessions where you switch locations often.

Before you start using BP Cookies Manager

BP Cookies Manager works on the current browser tab. Open a normal website first, then open the extension from the toolbar. Internal browser pages such as extension settings do not expose normal website cookies.

Cookies can contain active login sessions, authentication tokens, preferences, cart data, tracking IDs, and A/B test values. Treat exported cookies like sensitive data.

1. View and search current website cookies

The Home screen is the main cookie viewer. It lists cookies for the current website and lets you filter them by name, value, domain, or path.

1. Open the website you want to inspect.
2. Open BP Cookies Manager from the toolbar.
3. Check the site card and cookie count.
4. Search by cookie name, value, domain, or path.
5. Sort by cookie name, newest first, or expiration date.
6. Use the cookie actions to edit, delete, or block specific cookies.

2. Add or edit a cookie

Use Add Cookie to create a new cookie, or use the edit action beside an existing cookie. The editor supports the fields developers need for real browser testing.

1. Set the cookie name and value.
2. Choose the domain and path. The domain must match the current website.
3. Set expiration, or mark it as a session cookie.
4. Choose SameSite: Unspecified, Lax, Strict, or None.
5. Enable Secure for HTTPS-only cookies.
6. Enable HTTP only when page scripts should not read the cookie.
7. Save the cookie and refresh the website if the app needs to re-read it.

SameSite=None requires Secure in modern browsers, and Secure cookies require HTTPS.

4. Block recurring cookie names

The Blocked Cookies screen is for names that keep coming back. Add a cookie name, such as _ga, and BP Cookies Manager removes matching cookies when the site recreates them.

1. Open Blocked Cookies.
2. Enter the exact cookie name.
3. Click Block Cookie Name.
4. Reload or browse the site normally.
5. Remove the name from the blocklist when you want the site to keep that cookie again.

The browser reports cookies after they are created, so a blocked cookie can exist briefly before the extension removes it.

5. Import and export cookies

The Import & Export screen moves cookie data between tools and browsers. BP Cookies Manager supports three practical formats.

Only import cookies from sources you trust. Imported authentication cookies can grant access to accounts.

6. Detect new cookies after a page load

When a finished page load creates new cookies, BP Cookies Manager can show an in-page notification. Click the notification to open the cookie manager with those new cookies highlighted.

This is useful for seeing what changes after login, consent banner acceptance, checkout steps, form submissions, analytics scripts, or account redirects.
