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.

    Maybe it is because the data brokers will still identify you buy your device fingerprint even when using the vpn

      Yep. They look at way more than your IP. The one I can’t tackle yet is window sizes… I have asked a dev to see if he can slightly randomize new browser window sizes just for that. Otherwise I have a bunch of anti fingerprint extensions. And I often find myself unable to pass captchas or services because of it. But most of the time, that works. That and using a non-tracking search engine. I like presearch. And their browser on android supports extensions, just like Edge.
