About Fauxx

Fauxx is an open-source privacy tool that protects you by generating diverse, believable synthetic browsing activity in the background. By feeding data brokers and ad-tech platforms plausible off-demographic decoy activity that reads as real people, Fauxx makes your genuine behavioral signal indistinguishable from convincing fakes — deception, not easily-filterable noise. HOW IT WORKS Fauxx runs quietly in the background and performs diverse browsing activities across many topic categories — searches, page visits, DNS lookups, a stable per-persona device identity, and ad profile pollution.

Privacy and F-Droid

F-Droid builds Fauxx from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.

  • Relies on a non-free network service
