Core Updates and How They Work

Overview​

Indigo provides new browser core versions with a one to two-week delay from their official release. Cores are updated automatically when profiles are launched. This deliberate delay strategy offers several important benefits for users.

Why We Delay Updates​

Security First

Official Chrome/Firefox releases often serve as testing grounds. We wait for thorough testing and refinement by publishers to ensure maximum security.

Bug Prevention

Delay allows our developers to identify and address potential issues before they affect users, ensuring smooth transitions.

Website Compatibility

Not all websites immediately support new cores. Waiting reduces the risk of detection and account restrictions.

Automation Tools

Tools like Puppeteer and Selenium need time to adapt to new browser versions. Our delay ensures compatibility.

Controlling Updates via API​

You can control core updates using the auto_update_core parameter in various API endpoints:

{
  "auto_update_core": true
}

This is the default setting. Profiles will automatically update to the latest core version.

Important Notes​

caution

When updating a profile:

  • Changing to non-latest core versions isn't supported
  • Leaving auto_update_core unspecified resets it to true
  • To maintain current core version, explicitly set auto_update_core to false
warning

Indigo is not responsible for detection issues when using outdated cores. We recommend keeping automatic updates enabled.

Troubleshooting​

If core downloads take longer than 10 minutes, try these solutions:

1. Remove Conflicting Software

  • Antivirus programs
  • Firewalls
  • VPN applications
  • Proxy tools (Proxifier, SocksEscort)

2. Network Solutions

  • Try a different Wi-Fi network
  • Use mobile hotspot
  • Check ISP restrictions

3. Application Reset

  • Reconnect the agent
  • Reinstall app components
  • Verify system language is English
