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 think what you’re looking for is AdNauseam.
AdNauseam works on pages you are visiting, as far as I understood.
Fauxx instead does its thing independently in the background.
Something like this is an interesting approach:

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.
the window size protection you mention is a firefox feature called RFP and can be enabled on vanilla firefox as well.
