No telemetry, no extra code - only profiles, proxies and encryption.

On GitHub, Donut Browser, an open antide-deliste-browser for working with isolated profiles. The project allows you to create separate browser environments with its own cookies, extensions, data and digital fingerprints, as well as connect proxies and WireGuard configurations for each profile.

Donut Browser is distributed with open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. README contains links to builds v0.22.2 for macOS, Windows and Linux, and the repository shows fresh terms related to updating documentation, Nix configuration and package versions.

The main feature of Donut Browser is associated with the creation of an unlimited number of browser profiles. Each profile stores its own cookies, extensions, data and digital browser print. This approach helps to separate working environments, not to mix sessions, and manage multiple sets of settings in one application.

The project supports two browser engines. Chromium works through Wayfern, Firefox via Camoufox. The developers claim an advanced substrate of the digital fingerprint for both variants. Donut Browser also supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5-prox, and settings can be set separately for each profile. VPN functions are built on WireGuard configurations.

The developers added a local REST API and a Model Context Protocol server. Through MCP Donut Browser, you can connect with Claude, automation tools and own workflows. For users with a large number of profiles, groups, mass settings and imports from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers are provided.

Donut Browser has Cookies and Extensions Management, Selection of a Default Links Selection and Synchronize Between Devices. Synchronization can work through your own server, and data, if necessary, is protected by end-to-end encryption with a password that only the user knows.

For macOS, DMG builds for Apple Silicon and Intel are published, an installer and a portable version are available for Windows, and Linux packages are prepared deb, rpm and AppImage for x86_64 and ARM64. Nix users can run the project by the team from the repository.

The authors separately state the lack of telemetry: Donut Browser should not track the user and collect digital fingerprints of the device. For a project that works with profiles, proxies, cookies, extensions and network configuration, this item is no less important than the list of supported platforms.
