A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

MODERATORS
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.
“Let AI Drive Your Browser Built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with over 30 tools. 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
agreed. shady af.
