Donut Browser just dropped on Product Hunt. It's an open-source anti-detect browser with unlimited profiles. A massive W for the scraping and automation community.
What’s up, fellow code monkeys and script kiddies. Ever got your IP banned to the shadow realm because you ran too many headless instances? Or paid absurd monthly fees for an anti-detect browser just to live in constant fear of them logging your keystrokes? Well, grab a coffee, because a new player just entered the chat.
TL;DR for the chronically online: A dev named Andy just dropped "Donut Browser" on Product Hunt. It’s an open-source anti-detect browser, and the absolute chad move here is that it requires ZERO accounts.
You download it, and boom—unlimited local profiles. Each profile gets a unique fingerprint, full proxy support, and is primed for browser automation out of the box. Andy started hacking on this a year ago to manage his own alt accounts, realized it slapped, and open-sourced it. He recently bolted on a paid tier for agency folks to help pay his server bills, but the core engine remains totally free.
Sitting pretty with a 90 score, folks are eating it up.
One user perfectly summed up the vibe, praising how setting up isolated profiles with their own cookies and proxies is a massive game-changer. If you automate daily tasks or need a Proxy to unlock limitless web data collection, this is what you've been waiting for. It completely beats writing custom Playwright wrapper spaghetti code just to bypass basic anti-bot scripts.
Our take? Being open-source is a massive W. No more worrying about sketchy cracked browsers from deep-web forums stealing your crypto keys. You can actually inspect the repo to ensure it's not phoning home.
But remember, with great power comes great server bills. Spin it up on a cloud vps for legitimate scraping, managing agency accounts, or QA testing. Don't go using it for botnets or DDoS attacks, or you'll find out the hard way that the alphabet agencies have way better anti-anti-detect tools than you do. Stay frosty, devs.
