How to Set Up and Launch Che Browser in 2026: A Quick Start Guide That Actually Works

You're ready to dive into Che Browser, but don't want to wade through pages of documentation first? I get it. This guide walks you through the absolute essentials to get up and running fast. Think of it as the express lane—minimal settings that work for most websites, zero fluff.

That said, Che Browser packs some serious customization power under the hood. Once you've got things running, you might want to circle back to the full documentation for the advanced stuff. But for now? Let's just get you started.

Getting Che Browser on Your Computer

Head over to chebrowser.site and hit the "Download" button in the menu. The page will scroll down to the download section automatically. Click "DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS" and you'll get a file called "chebrowser-win-x64.zip" saved to your computer.

Now extract that ZIP file wherever you want—I'm using WinRAR here, but any extraction tool works. Right-click the file and select "Extract to chebrowser-win-x64". You'll see a new folder appear right next to the ZIP file.

Open that folder. Inside, you'll find another folder with the same name. Go into the second "chebrowser-win-x64" folder and look for "chebrowser.exe". Double-click it to launch the application.

Creating Your Account

When Che Browser opens, you'll see a login screen. Click "Create new account"—and here's something important: there's no website registration. You register directly in the application after launching it.

Fill in a real email address (you might need it if you lose access to your account), a secret phrase (useful for password resets or refunds), your password, and confirm that password. Hit "Register" and you're in. No confirmation email, no extra steps. You'll land directly in your dashboard.

Funding Your Account and Getting Started

Navigate to the "Payments" section in the left menu. Click the green "ADD MONEY TO BALANCE" button in the top right corner. Choose your cryptocurrency (BTC, LTC, BCH, DOGE, or DASH), enter the amount in USD you want to add, and click "CREATE INVOICE".

You'll get a wallet address and the expected amount. Send your crypto there, click "I PAID", and after three network confirmations, your balance updates automatically. Now you can actually buy stuff.

Head to "Shopping" in the left menu and click the "Subscription" tile. Pick your subscription period in the popup window and hit "RENEW NOW".

Next up: browser profiles. Click the "Chrome profiles" tile. A checkout window appears. If you're working with specific websites and they appear in the "Select customization for target domains" dropdown, choose them. If not, leave it blank. Enter how many profiles you need in the "Quantity" field and click "BUY NOW".

When managing multiple online identities or accounts, having reliable proxy infrastructure becomes crucial. 👉 MarsProxies offers residential and datacenter SOCKS5 proxies that integrate seamlessly with antidetect browsers, giving you stable connections with proper geolocation matching.

Your new profiles will show up in the "Profiles" section of the left menu.

The Proxy Situation

Che Browser only works with SOCKS5 proxies. Not HTTP proxies, not anything else—just SOCKS5. And it needs IPv4 addresses, not IPv6.

Your SOCKS5 proxy will look something like this: "23.45.105.203:11987:someLogin:somePass"

Breaking that down: 23.45.105.203 is the IP address, 11987 is the port, someLogin is your login, and somePass is your password. Some proxy services only give you IP and port without login credentials—that's fine, just leave those fields empty when you set things up.

If your proxy provider gives you a hostname instead of an IP address (like someSubDomain.someHost.com), you'll need to use a lookup service to convert it to an IP. In some cases, you might also need to whitelist your own public IP address in your proxy service's dashboard.

Configuring Your Browser Profile

Click on any profile in your list. The Settings window opens. Here's what you need to do:

Switch the toggle to "Connection: SOCKS5 proxy". Enter your IP address in the "IP" field, port in "Port", login in "Login", and password in "Password". Hit "CHECK PROXY".

The application will verify your proxy works. You'll see your external IP address appear in the "External IP INFO" field, and geographic data (country, region, city, zip) will populate automatically in the "GEO IP" section at the top. The "SET AUTO" button next to "Language" and "Timezone" will become active.

Click "SET AUTO". This automatically sets your timezone and language to match your proxy's location. For most users, you'll do this once on first setup and never touch it again. The settings stick for future launches.

Whether you're running e-commerce operations, managing social media accounts, or conducting market research, 👉 MarsProxies provides the geographic coverage and connection stability you need to work effectively across different regions and platforms.

Launch Time

Hit the "SAVE & RUN" button. Your settings save and the browser launches with your configured profile. That's it—you're ready to work.

The browser window opens, your proxy connection is active, and your fingerprint is masked. Everything from canvas fingerprinting to WebGL parameters has been configured based on the profile you purchased. You can now use the browser just like regular Chrome, but with all the privacy protections running in the background.

Most users find this basic setup handles their needs perfectly. But if you run into specific website requirements or want to fine-tune things like canvas noise levels, WebRTC settings, or geolocation spoofing, that's when you'll want to dig into the full documentation. For now though? You're up and running.
