Question 1

How do I prevent browser fingerprinting?

Accepted Answer

Blocking fingerprinting APIs breaks sites and flags you as suspicious. The reliable way is to randomize the fingerprint: give each browsing session a different, realistic-looking device. Donut Browser does this automatically: every profile gets a unique Canvas, WebGL, AudioContext, font list, hardware profile, User-Agent and Client Hints, so sites see a different real device each time instead of a hardened privacy browser.

Question 2

How can I test my browser fingerprint?

Accepted Answer

Use Pixelscan, IPHey, CreepJS, BrowserLeaks and fingerprint.com. Open each in a fresh Donut Browser profile and you will see different Canvas hashes, WebGL renderers, AudioContext values, fonts and User-Agents per profile, and no "automation/bot" flags. Profiles pass Pixelscan (including mobile), IPHey, CreepJS and BrowserLeaks, and fingerprint.com Pro does not detect them as bots.

Question 3

Does incognito mode stop fingerprinting?

Accepted Answer

No. Incognito only clears cookies and history when you close the window. Your Canvas, WebGL, AudioContext, fonts, hardware and User-Agent are identical to your normal browser, so trackers still recognize you across incognito sessions. Donut Browser changes the fingerprint itself, which is what incognito does not do.

Question 4

What is the best way to stop tracking by canvas fingerprinting?

Accepted Answer

Spoof the Canvas output per profile with a realistic, consistent hash rather than returning random noise (which sites detect). Donut Browser's Canvas fingerprint blocker pairs Canvas spoofing with matching WebGL, AudioContext and font lists so the whole fingerprint stays coherent and undetected.

Question 5

How is this different from Tor Browser?

Accepted Answer

Tor Browser tries to make every user look identical, which makes Tor users very easy to identify as Tor users, and many sites block them outright. Donut Browser is a Tor browser alternative that goes the opposite way: each profile is a different, normal-looking device. You blend in instead of standing out, and you can still route any profile through a VPN or proxy if you want network-level anonymity.

Question 6

How is this different from Brave or DuckDuckGo?

Accepted Answer

Brave and DuckDuckGo block trackers inside a single browser identity (useful), but you are still one fingerprint across everything you do. As a Brave alternative, Donut Browser lets you spin up unlimited identities, each with its own fingerprint, cookie jar, storage and optional proxy/VPN. It is a different model: separation of identities, not just blocking of trackers.

Question 7

What fingerprint parameters does Donut Browser spoof?

Accepted Answer

Over 50 parameters: Canvas and WebGL rendering output, AudioContext (sample rate, latency, channel count), screen dimensions and color depth, hardware concurrency and device memory, User-Agent and Client Hints (brand, platform, architecture), installed fonts, timezone and language, WebRTC addresses, media devices (microphones, webcams, speakers), battery status, navigator properties (plugins, MIME types, platform) and accessibility preferences. Values are generated to be internally consistent so the fingerprint matches a plausible real device.

Question 8

Does a VPN stop browser fingerprinting?

Accepted Answer

No. A VPN only changes your IP address. Sites can still identify you via Canvas, WebGL, AudioContext, fonts and User-Agent; your fingerprint is identical whether you use a VPN or not. Use Donut Browser's anti-fingerprint engine for the browser layer and add the built-in per-profile WireGuard or SOCKS5 proxy for the network layer.

Question 9

Does Donut Browser collect any data?

Accepted Answer

No. Zero telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporters, no usage tracking. All profile data is stored locally. The Donut Browser app is open source under AGPL-3.0 on GitHub; you can verify this yourself.

Question 10

Can I use Donut Browser for everyday browsing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Create one profile per activity (personal, banking, shopping, social, work) and each one is an isolated identity with its own fingerprint and storage. Profiles persist across launches so you stay logged in.

Question 11

Can I run automation through anti-fingerprint profiles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Donut Browser exposes a local API so you can drive profiles with Puppeteer, Playwright or your own scripts while keeping the spoofed fingerprint and per-profile proxy. See the automation use case for the full setup.

Feature	Donut Browser	Regular Browser
Canvas / WebGL / AudioContext spoofing	Realistic, consistent values per profile: passes Pixelscan, IPHey, CreepJS, BrowserLeaks	Same Canvas/WebGL/Audio hash every session: trivial to fingerprint
User-Agent & client hints spoofing	UA, Sec-CH-UA brand/platform/arch, navigator.platform and language spoofed together	Fixed UA; client hints leak the real OS and CPU even if you change the UA string
WebRTC leak protection	Per-profile WebRTC blocking and local IP spoofing: real IP never exposed	WebRTC leaks the real IP even with a VPN enabled
Multiple identities	Unlimited profiles, each a distinct fingerprint + cookies + storage + optional proxy	One identity per browser; incognito just resets cookies
Cross-session tracking	Impossible: every profile is a different device to the network	Trivial via fingerprinting, even in private/incognito mode
Per-profile VPN / proxy	WireGuard, HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 bound per profile	System-wide VPN only; one IP for everything
Telemetry	Zero telemetry, verifiable in the open source app	Usage data, crash reports and browsing history commonly collected
Source code transparency	AGPL-3.0 on GitHub: profile manager, API and sync are auditable	Closed source: you must trust the vendor
Detected as a privacy browser?	No: looks like a normal Chromium device, not flagged like Tor	Tor is detectable and often blocked; Brave/DDG ship a known fingerprint
