README

Donut Browser

Open Source Anti-Detect Browser
donutbrowser.com

Features

Unlimited browser profiles: each fully isolated with its own fingerprint, cookies, extensions, and data
Anti-detect Chromium engine: powered by Wayfern, which is privacy-focused Chromium fork that comes with advanced fingerprint spoofing which naturally hides information in a way that is not detected by Cloudflare, reCaptcha v3, and other browser fingerprinting and anti-bot services.
DNS AdBlocker - block ads, trackers, and other unwanted content with per-profile DNS blocking
Proxy support: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 per profile, with dynamic proxy URLs
VPN support: WireGuard configs per profile
Local API & MCP: REST API and Model Context Protocol server for integration with Claude, automation tools, and custom workflows
Profile groups: organize profiles and apply bulk settings
Import profiles: migrate from Chrome, Edge, Brave, or other Chromium browsers
Cookie & extension management: import/export cookies, manage extensions per profile
Default browser: set Donut as your default browser and choose which profile opens each link
Cloud sync: sync profiles, proxies, and groups across devices (self-hostable)
E2E encryption: optional end-to-end encrypted sync with a password only you know
Zero telemetry: no tracking or device fingerprinting

Or install via package manager:

curl -fsSL https://donutbrowser.com/install.sh | sh

Troubleshooting AppImage

If the AppImage segfaults on launch, install libfuse2 (sudo apt install libfuse2 / yay -S libfuse2 / sudo dnf install fuse-libs), or bypass FUSE entirely:

APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 ./Donut.Browser_x.x.x_amd64.AppImage

If that gives an EGL display error, try adding WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 or GDK_BACKEND=x11 to the command above. If issues persist, the .deb / .rpm packages are a more reliable alternative.

Nix

nix run github:zhom/donutbrowser#release-start

Self-Hosting Sync

Donut Browser supports syncing profiles, proxies, and groups across devices via a self-hosted sync server, which makes sync completely free. See the Self-Hosting Donut Sync guide for Docker-based setup instructions.
