# Quick Start
> This guide helps you configure BrowserAct’s browser settings in under 3 minutes for most common automation scenarios.
### **1. Open Browser Settings**
To access browser configuration:
* Open the **Start** node in the workflow editor
* Locate **Default Browser Settings** at the bottom of the Start node
* Click **Settings** to open the browser configuration panel
### **2. Choose Browser Mode**
Select how BrowserAct manages browser data and sessions for your workflow.
#### **Standard Browser（ Default）**
**Persistent browser sessions** across runs
Each workflow gets a **dedicated and stable browser environment**
Cookies, cache, and login state are automatically preserved
**Best for**
* Logged-in accounts
* Long-running automation tasks
#### **Private Browser**
Use **Private Browser** only if:
* You are scraping public pages
* Logging is not required
* Each run should start with a clean environment
Private Browser runs in incognito mode and does not save any data after execution.
### **3. Configure Proxy**
BrowserAct supports **two proxy options**, allowing you to control IP location and network identity.
* **BrowserAct Proxy:**
**Fastest and easiest option**
* Built-in **global residential proxy network**
* Automatically assigns a new IP on each run
* Select a country or region directly — no manual setup required
**Custom Proxy:**
Use this only if you already have your own proxy service.
* Add your preferred HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy
* Supports authentication and custom endpoints
* Includes **Proxy Check** to validate connectivity before running tasks
