    It’s developed by singular person as you read in their FAQ: “Donut Browser is built by one person with the goal of making the internet a little more private. Paid plans are how commercial users support the project and keep it sustainable.”

    Which is concerning.

    It also promotes illegal practices as it can be seen here: https://donutbrowser.com/use-cases/automation/

    I wouldn’t recommend it.

Free tools cover profile management, proxy configuration, VPN control, fingerprint updates, and extension management. Pro plan unlocks browser manipulation tools — launch and control profiles through natural language with Claude or any MCP-compatible LLM.” Well that’s without doubt 100% private! 😌 /s

    This is tangential, but their page behaves weirdly on my browser (using ironfox on grapheme). Bits of the page show up for an instant then disappear when I scroll.

      For some reason literally any site that uses Framer motion does this for me, so I think this site is doing the same. I hate it and it’s also terrible for performance since it’s JS based animation instead of CSS
