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.

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

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.
