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

Afaik that won’t really work due to pihole on my network.
