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

I dont feel like it does anything new everything it brags about is just standard, anti fingerprinting is kinda cool but if i needed that id just use tor mullvad. The last cool browser is saw was zen
Is it just another Chromium?
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
30 bucks a month for a browser supported by one person is an ask. I'd pay for a privacy focused browser with mcp support, but thats a bit steep.
