Chrome extensions
Both extensions route only your browser through the proxy, which is ideal for manual SERP checks, ad spot checks, localization QA and debugging scrapers. Choose the one for the provider whose IPs you're testing. See the Rayobyte Chrome extension and using Geonode in Chrome.
Tips for either:
- Use a separate Chrome profile for proxy work.
- Turn the proxy off when you're done to save bandwidth.
- Protect against WebRTC leaks. See WebRTC leaks and proxies.
Antidetect browsers
Geonode advertises direct integrations with several antidetect browsers, which can save setup time. Rayobyte proxies work in the same tools through their standard proxy settings: paste host, port and credentials into each profile. Either way, the rule is one static IP per profile. See Rayobyte with antidetect browsers and antidetect browsers compared.
Residential tip: The simplest way to settle this comparison is to test both: Rayobyte has a free trial with no card, and Geonode sells a low-cost residential trial. Run the same targets through each. See the Rayobyte Chrome extension.
Everything else
Both providers use standard proxy URLs, so they work with Python, Node.js, Scrapy, Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium, cURL and no-code tools that accept proxies.
Which to choose
| Need | Better fit |
|---|---|
| One-click antidetect setup | Geonode |
| Manual browser checks | Either |
| Many product types from one extension account | Rayobyte |
A real-world example
A growth agency's account managers use Geonode's antidetect integrations to set up dozens of client profiles in minutes, each with its own ISP IP. Its SEO analysts use Rayobyte's Chrome extension with ZIP-targeted residential IPs for quick local search checks before building automated tracking. Both teams use a separate browser profile for proxy work and keep WebRTC leak protection on.
Proxy tip: If your residential usage comes in bursts, Geonode is worth a look: purchased GB doesn't expire and sticky sessions can last up to 24 hours. More in our complete Geonode guide.
Pros and cons for integrations
Rayobyte
- Chrome extension with fine residential targeting.
- Works in every antidetect browser through standard settings.
- Fewer one-click integrations.
Geonode
- Chrome extension.
- Direct integrations with major antidetect browsers.
- No ZIP targeting for local spot checks.
For the bigger picture beyond our three partners, read our best proxies buyer's guide, and see cheap proxies for ways to cut cost per successful request. To understand the IP type behind this, read our residential proxies guide.
Budget tip: For jobs where a fixed IP list is enough, Webshare is one of the cheapest options: shared datacenter proxies are sold by the IP, and static residential (ISP) proxies cost well under a dollar per IP per month at the time of writing. More in the Webshare Chrome extension.
Key takeaways
- Both offer Chrome extensions for manual checks.
- Geonode lists direct antidetect browser integrations; Rayobyte works in the same tools via standard settings.
- Both work with every common scraping library.
- Use one static IP per antidetect profile on either.

Editorial note: Proxy providers change their pools, features and prices often, so treat any figures here as typical ranges at the time of writing and confirm current terms with the provider before you buy.
