Donut Browser Nightly is a Browsers app for Mac.

About

Donut Browser Nightly is the nightly cask variant of Donut Browser, an anti-detect browser for keeping browsing profiles separate. The product site describes profiles as independent spaces with separate fingerprints, cookies, and sessions; the nightly cask installs the Donut.app application on macOS.

  • Create and manage local browser profiles; the product site describes the profile count as unlimited.
  • Keep cookies, logins, and browsing history on the device, according to the product site.
  • Configure a proxy or VPN for each profile, and organize profiles into groups.
  • The product site also lists encrypted and self-hosted sync, password-locked and ephemeral profiles, cookie import and export, DNS blocklists, and a local REST API.

Install with brew install --cask donut@nightly. This is the nightly variant, and the cask declares a conflict with the regular donut cask, so they cannot be installed together. The cask identifies the macOS app as Donut.app. The product site’s broader claims describe Donut Browser generally and may not specify which capabilities are present in every nightly build.
