Question 1

What is Donut Browser?

Accepted Answer

Donut Browser is an anti-detect browser that allows you to create and manage unlimited local profiles for multiple browsers. The Donut Browser app is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license with zero telemetry, so you can inspect the code and verify how your data is handled. It's designed to give you complete control over your browsing experience.

Question 2

Who is behind Donut Browser?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Which browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

Donut Browser currently supports two browser engines: Wayfern (Chromium-based) and Camoufox (Firefox-based).

Question 4

What operating systems are supported?

Accepted Answer

Donut Browser supports macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Question 5

Does it support proxy and VPN configuration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each profile can be assigned its own proxy (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5) or VPN connection (WireGuard, OpenVPN), so you can route traffic independently per profile.

Question 6

Is Donut Browser really free?

Accepted Answer

Donut Browser has a generous free plan that includes unlimited local profiles, proxy support, VPN support, and the profile management API. The source code is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. Advanced features like cross-platform fingerprints, browser automation, cloud sync, and team collaboration are available through paid plans.

Question 7

Is Donut Browser completely open source?

Accepted Answer

The Donut Browser app — the profile manager, local API, MCP server, and user interface — is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, with source code available on GitHub. The browser engines are not fully open source: Wayfern (Chromium-based) is proprietary, and Camoufox (Firefox-based) is partially open source with proprietary anti-detection patches. Cloud sync for personal use is open source and can be self-hosted. Team collaboration features are not open source and are only available to paid subscribers.

Question 8

Is Donut Browser private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Donut Browser was designed as a privacy tool first and only later evolved into a competitive anti-detect browser. Unlike other anti-detect browsers, it does not fingerprint your device or monitor your online activity. The app source code is open source and available on GitHub, and there is zero telemetry. Paid plans support development, but your data is never the product. The app where your data is stored and processed is fully auditable.

Question 9

Can I self-host Donut Browser's cloud sync?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the cloud sync service is open source and can be self-hosted. A self-hosted instance is designed for a single user — it does not include team collaboration features. See the self-hosting guide for setup instructions.

Question 10

Can I use Donut Browser commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use Donut Browser for commercial purposes. The source code is licensed under AGPL-3.0, which requires that any modifications or derivative works also be open sourced under the same license. If you prefer not to open source your modifications, Pro plan and above automatically include a commercial license that allows proprietary use without AGPL obligations. The commercial license does not grant the right to resell, sublicense, or redistribute Donut Browser as a standalone product or competing service.

Question 11

How many profiles can I create?

Accepted Answer

You can create unlimited local browser profiles. Each profile is completely isolated with its own settings, extensions, cookies, and data. This is perfect for separating work, personal browsing, or testing different configurations.

Question 12

What payment methods are supported?

Accepted Answer

Donut Browser accepts credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App, Klarna, WeChat Pay, and stablecoins. You can also pay with cryptocurrency including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Solana, Monero, and many other options.

Question 13

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Donut Browser offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans paid by card. If you're not satisfied, contact me within 30 days for a full refund. Cryptocurrency payments are non-refundable.

	Regular Browser	Donut Browser
Browser Fingerprint	One fingerprint shared across all tabs — websites recognize you everywhere	Unique fingerprint per profile — each profile looks like a completely different device
Multiple Accounts	Log out and back in, or use incognito — platforms still link your sessions via fingerprint	Each account runs in its own isolated profile with separate cookies, storage, and fingerprint
IP Isolation	All tabs share the same IP — VPN applies globally to everything	Assign a different proxy or VPN to each profile independently
Tracking Protection	Cross-site trackers follow you via fingerprinting even in private browsing mode	No data shared between profiles — trackers cannot correlate your activity across profiles
Automation	Headless Chrome is trivially detected by anti-bot systems	Real browser engine with full fingerprint spoofing — passes anti-bot detection systems
Privacy	Browser collects telemetry, syncs data to cloud, shares crash reports	Zero telemetry, open source, all data stored locally on your machine
