Fair Use Policy
1. Introduction and Purpose
This Fair Use Policy defines reasonable usage limits for Browser.lol Services to ensure fair access and optimal performance for all users. This policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service.
Our Services are designed for typical business and personal use. The free tier is funded by advertising, the paid Plus and Premium subscriptions carry higher allocations, and the resource allocations are generous at every tier. This policy exists to prevent abuse that would degrade the experience of other users or strain our infrastructure.
Fair use ensures that resources remain available for all customers and maintains service quality across our platform.
2. Fair Use Principles
Fair use is determined by evaluating your usage patterns relative to:
- Your account tier: Anonymous use and registered accounts have different limits and allocations
- Average usage patterns: Your usage compared to other users on the same tier
- Resource impact: The effect of your usage on infrastructure and other users
- Business purpose: Whether usage aligns with the intended purpose of the Services
- Consistency with guidelines: Compliance with our Acceptable Use Policy
We monitor usage to detect patterns that may indicate excessive or inappropriate use. Our goal is to maintain a sustainable, high-quality service for all users.
3. Resource Limits and Guidelines
3.1. Browser Workspace Usage
The Service has a free tier (anonymous or registered) and the paid Plus and Premium subscriptions. All tiers are subject to limits on the number of workspaces you may start, on inactivity timeouts and on maximum session duration:
Anonymous (no account)
- Ad-supported, and periodic ads may be required to keep a session active
- Lower hourly session allowance
- Reduced browser selection; the restricted browser images require a sign-in
- No integrated mail service and no country selection
Registered (free account)
- Ad-supported on the same terms
- Higher hourly session allowance
- Wider browser selection than anonymous use; the restricted browser images require a paid subscription or an honoured historic entitlement
Plus and Premium (paid subscriptions)
- Ad-free
- All browser images, including the restricted ones
- Enhanced session resources and higher allowances
- Temporary email, VPN location selection and custom proxy support
- A monthly residential proxy data allowance
- Premium additionally: saved browser profiles, programmatic access (API keys and the hosted MCP endpoint), a larger residential proxy data allowance and a second concurrent session
The service itself enforces the current limits, and those values are authoritative. Signed in, you can read them in your account dashboard; without an account there is no dashboard, so the launch page tells you when a limit is reached.
3.2. Bandwidth Usage
We do not impose hard bandwidth caps, but excessive consumption may be reviewed. As guidance, sustained consumption of several hundred gigabytes per month (e.g., consistently exceeding 500 GB) may trigger a review.
Excessive bandwidth usage for purposes such as torrenting, continuous video streaming to third parties, or using workspaces as CDN/proxy services is prohibited.
3.3. Computational Resources
Each browser workspace has allocated CPU and memory resources. Fair use includes:
- CPU: Workspaces should not continuously max out CPU resources for extended periods
- Memory: Memory usage should remain within the allocated limits of your plan
- Processes: Running excessive background processes or cryptocurrency mining is prohibited
Resource-intensive activities that materially impact other users may be throttled or restricted to ensure fair access for all users.
3.4. Storage Limits
Browser workspaces are ephemeral and not designed for long-term storage:
- Files downloaded within a workspace are deleted when the workspace session ends
- Using workspaces as file storage or hosting services is prohibited
3.5. Programmatic Access
Programmatic creation of browser workspaces is part of the Premium subscription and is used through the documented API and MCP endpoints with an API key. Automating the website itself, or the workspace endpoints outside those interfaces, on any tier, is a fair use violation and is handled under Section 5.
3.6. Integrated Mail Service
For users with access to our integrated mail service:
- Maximum messages stored: 50 (oldest deleted when exceeded)
- Message retention: 30 days
- Using the mail service for spam, bulk email, or mass marketing is strictly prohibited
4. Prohibited Resource Usage
The following activities are considered violations of fair use and are prohibited:
- Cryptocurrency Mining: Using browser workspaces for cryptocurrency mining or similar compute-intensive operations
- Proxy/VPN Services: Operating browser workspaces as proxy servers or VPN services for third parties
- Continuous Downloading: Using workspaces for continuous downloading of large files or torrenting
- Automated Scraping: Running automated web scraping operations that generate excessive bandwidth or requests
- DDoS or Network Attacks: Using resources to launch denial-of-service attacks or network scanning
- Reselling Services: Reselling or sublicensing workspace access to third parties without authorization
- Multiple Account Abuse: Creating multiple accounts to circumvent the usage limits of your account tier
- Session Manipulation: Using automated tools to prevent session timeouts or artificially extend sessions
For a complete list of prohibited activities, see our Acceptable Use Policy.
5. Monitoring and Enforcement
5.1. Usage Monitoring
We automatically monitor resource usage to ensure compliance with this policy, including:
- Number of active and total workspace sessions
- Session duration and frequency
- Bandwidth consumption patterns
- CPU and memory utilization
- Automated request patterns
- Storage usage
This monitoring is automated and does not involve inspection of the content within your browser sessions, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
5.2. Enforcement Actions
If we determine that your usage exceeds fair use limits, we may take one or more of the following actions:
Step 1: Warning
Email notification explaining the issue and requesting you reduce usage
Step 2: Throttling
Temporary reduction in service speed or resource allocation
Step 3: Suspension
Temporary suspension of service until the issue is resolved
Step 4: Termination
Permanent termination of account for severe or repeated violations
The specific action taken depends on the severity of the violation, your usage history, and your response to previous warnings. We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate accounts engaged in activities that pose security risks or significantly impact other users.
5.3. Appeals Process
If you believe enforcement action was taken in error:
- Contact us at [email protected] within 14 days of the action
- Provide your account information and explanation
- We aim to review your case within 5 business days
- You will receive a written response with our decision
6. Higher Usage Requirements
If your work needs more than your current tier allows, there are two routes:
6.1. Talk to Us
If your use case is legitimate and simply larger than the defaults, write to [email protected] and describe it: the workload, the expected volume and the time frame. Adjustments are discretionary and free; we would rather grant one than have you build workarounds.
6.2. The Paid Subscriptions
Ad-free use, enhanced session resources, custom proxies, a monthly residential proxy data allowance and the full browser selection are part of the paid Plus subscription, and it comes with priority support. Premium adds saved browser profiles, programmatic access (API keys and our hosted MCP endpoint), a larger monthly residential proxy data allowance and a second concurrent session.
7. Transparency and Communication
7.1. Usage Dashboard
Your account dashboard provides visibility into your usage:
- Current and historical workspace usage
- Bandwidth consumption trends
- The limits that apply to your account tier and what remains of them
7.2. Proactive Notifications
We will notify you if:
- Your usage approaches the limits of your account tier (typically at 80% and 100%)
- We detect patterns that may violate fair use
- Your account is flagged for review
- Changes to fair use limits are planned
Notifications are sent via email and may also appear in your dashboard.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Fair Use Policy to reflect changes in our service offerings, technology, or usage patterns. Material changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance via email and dashboard notifications.
We will not retroactively penalize usage that was compliant with the policy at the time it occurred. New limits apply only to future usage.
