Product Introduction
- Overview: IP Per Tab is a specialized Chrome extension that enables granular proxy management at the individual browser tab level, utilizing a pool of over 200,000 whitelisted residential IP addresses. It redefines proxy control by moving it from a browser-wide setting to a per-tab context.
- Value: It allows professionals to run multiple, simultaneous online sessions—each with a unique, geo-specific residential IP—from a single Chrome window, eliminating the need for multiple browsers or constant proxy switching.
Main Features
- Per-Tab IP Assignment: Assign a unique residential proxy IP to any individual Chrome tab directly from the extension's popup interface. This allows for precise control where one tab can use an IP from New York while another uses one from London, all concurrently.
- Session Isolation & Persistence: Each tab maintains its own isolated proxy session. Activities like web scraping, form submissions, or logins in one tab do not affect the IP session or cookies in another, preventing workflow interruption and cross-contamination.
- Automated Domain Rules: Create and save persistent proxy rules for specific domains (e.g., amazon.com, google.com). The extension automatically reapplies the designated residential IP route every time you revisit that domain in any tab, streamlining repetitive tasks.
Problems Solved
- Challenge: Professionals needing multiple simultaneous IP sessions face clunky workarounds like using separate browser profiles, virtual machines, or constant manual proxy switching, which is time-consuming and error-prone.
- Audience: This tool is essential for web scrapers, e-commerce sellers managing multiple accounts, digital marketers previewing geo-targeted ads, SEO analysts checking regional rankings, and developers testing location-based features.
- Scenario: An e-commerce seller can have one tab logged into a seller dashboard with a US IP, another researching competitors on Amazon UK with a British IP, and a third checking supplier sites with a German IP—all side-by-side without logging in and out or switching browsers.
Unique Advantages
- Vs Competitors: Unlike traditional proxy managers or VPNs that apply one IP to the entire browser or system, IP Per Tab offers true tab-level granularity. This provides cleaner separation than browser profiles and is more efficient than running multiple virtual browsers.
- Innovation: Its deep integration with the Chrome browser's architecture for true session isolation per tab is a technical edge. Backed by PureVPN's established infrastructure, it guarantees high network uptime and a massive, reliable pool of residential IPs, which is superior to smaller, less stable proxy services.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How does IP Per Tab differ from a regular VPN? A traditional VPN routes all traffic from your device through one IP. IP Per Tab is a Chrome extension that allows you to assign different residential proxy IPs to individual browser tabs simultaneously, offering multi-IP functionality within a single window.
- Can I use IP Per Tab for web scraping and automation? Yes, it is ideal for web scraping. You can run separate crawls or retry attempts in different tabs with unique IPs, preventing a block on one IP from halting your entire project and allowing for concurrent data collection from geo-specific sources.
- Do I need technical skills to set up IP Per Tab? No technical setup is required. After adding the extension from the Chrome Web Store and subscribing to the residential proxy service, you simply select your desired IP location from a dropdown menu in the extension popup for each tab.
