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, a privacy-focused Chromium fork whose fingerprint spoofing is not detected by Cloudflare, reCaptcha v3, or 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

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, add WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 or GDK_BACKEND=x11 to the command above. If issues persist, the .deb and .rpm packages are more reliable.

Flatpak and Snap

Releases include an x86_64 Flatpak bundle and a Snap, built from the .deb and tested in their sandboxes by the Linux Packages workflow. Download Donut_*_x86_64.flatpak or Donut_*_amd64.snap from the releases (the nightly has them already) and install it:

flatpak install --user Donut_*_x86_64.flatpak
sudo snap install --dangerous Donut_*_amd64.snap

The Snap leaves the microphone, the camera and the keyring (used by profile import) disconnected until you run sudo snap connect donutbrowser:audio-record, donutbrowser:camera or donutbrowser:password-manager-service. The Flatpak cannot change the default browser, so choose Donut in your system settings instead.

Nix

nix run github:zhom/donutbrowser#release-start

Self-Hosting Sync

Run your own sync server to sync profiles, proxies, and groups across devices for free. See the Self-Hosting Donut Sync guide for Docker-based setup instructions.
