Is an antidetect browser worth it if my mobile proxy handles the fingerprint layer?

Been running 5-7 client accounts across Meta and TikTok. Stack right now is Voidmob dedicated mobile with p0f locked to iOS, DNS routed through the carrier instead of Cloudflare, one dedicated port per client on 5G IPs.

Everything looks consistent on the network side, all the fingerprint tools return iOS. The question I keep going back and forth on is whether stacking antidetect browser on top actually moves improves account survival, or if I'm just paying extra for canvas spoofing that anti-bot systems don't really care about anymore.

For the last 3 weeks I've been running separate Chrome profiles with cookies isolated per client, no antidetect. No bans yet but Meta is patient so that doesn't tell me much.

Trying to sort out:

Does the platform actually check whether the browser fingerprint lines up with what the IP is claiming at the OS level?

If p0f is iOS but Chrome UA is desktop, does that break the illusion or is the network layer enough?
Anyone here running mobile-proxy-only vs mobile + antidetect who can share how survival rates compared?

Any input appreciated.

Best Proxies for scraping Google SERPs at scale?

Running a rank tracker for my side project, need localised SERPs across few US cities. Around 3-4 queries a day.

Datacenter died in the first 50 queries. Residential held for maybe 200-300 then trust tanked and everything started rate-limiting. Started to think about high quality mobile proxies.

Stack right now:

- Python with curl_cffi, impersonate="chrome" for JA4
- 3-6s jitter between requests, no fixed intervals
- gl / hl / uule params for locale
- Response body scanned for CAPTCHA marker so I rotate before wasting queries

Scraping side feels fine, the network layer is what's killing me.

Comparing NodeMaven, Voidmob and DataImpulse. Not going the managed SERP API route, at my volume that's $8-10k a month.

What I care about:

- Real 4G/5G carrier IPs (verified via IPQS)
- Sticky sessions for repeated queries from same city
- Per-request rotation for broad keyword sweeps
- City-level geo-accuracy, not just country

Anyone doing SERP scraping at similar volume, what mobile pool are you actually holding trust on?

Thanks!
