This is tangential, but their page behaves weirdly on my browser (using ironfox on grapheme). Bits of the page show up for an instant then disappear when I scroll.

For some reason literally any site that uses Framer motion does this for me, so I think this site is doing the same. I hate it and it's also terrible for performance since it's JS based animation instead of CSS

It's developed by singular person as you read in their FAQ: "Donut Browser is built by one person with the goal of making the internet a little more private. Paid plans are how commercial users support the project and keep it sustainable."

Which is concerning.

It also promotes illegal practices as it can be seen here: donutbrowser.com/use-cases/aut…

I wouldn't recommend it.
