Fauxx is an open-source Android privacy tool that poisons data broker and ad-tech profiles by generating continuous, plausible, off-demographic synthetic activity from your device. The goal is simple: make your real behavioral signal statistically indistinguishable from noise.

Not my project, but though this is really cool and worth sharing.

This is great! I wanted something like this for a long time.

Any suggestions for something similar that runs on a linux desktop?

I used TrackMeNot extension for Firefox in the past, but it has been abandoned and not updated in close to 10 years.

    I'd advise switching from Firefox to Mullvad Browser. They have a window size protection tool built in to obfuscate your actual screen size, as well as some other cool goodies.

    I think what you're looking for is AdNauseam.
