Fauxx - Privacy Through Deception

Fauxx is an open-source privacy tool that protects you by generating diverse, believable synthetic browsing activity in the background. By feeding data brokers and ad-tech platforms plausible off-demographic decoy activity that reads as real people, Fauxx makes your genuine behavioral signal indistinguishable from convincing fakes — deception, not easily-filterable noise.

This is the FULL version distributed via F-Droid and GitHub. It includes all modules, including location spoofing and ad profile pollution, which are not available in the Play Store version due to Google's policies.

HOW IT WORKS

Fauxx runs quietly in the background and performs diverse browsing activities across many topic categories — searches, page visits, DNS lookups, a stable per-persona device identity, ad profile pollution, and GPS location spoofing. The goal is to bury your real interests under a stream of coherent, believable decoy activity so that data brokers can't tell which "you" is real.

FEATURES

• Diverse search queries across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo on topics far from your real interests
• Varied website visits across dozens of content categories
• Ad profile pollution — loads ad-heavy pages to inject off-demographic ad signals
• GPS location spoofing — feeds fake coordinates via mock location provider (requires developer options)
• Stable per-persona device identity — one coherent User-Agent + client hints per synthetic persona, not random rotation (plus canvas fingerprint noise)
• DNS query diversification
• Smart targeting engine with 3 layers of demographic distancing
• Synthetic persona rotation — adopts a new fake identity every week
• Poisson-distributed timing that mimics natural human browsing patterns
• Full audit log with CSV/JSON export
• On-device encryption for all personal data (SQLCipher + Android Keystore)
• No accounts, no cloud storage, no analytics, no telemetry

OPTIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC TARGETING

Tell Fauxx about yourself (age, gender, interests, profession, region) and it will generate decoy activity that's maximally different from your real profile. All demographic data stays encrypted on your device. Skip the setup entirely for uniform, unbiased decoys.

PRIVACY FIRST

• All data stays on your device
• No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers
• Fully open-source — inspect the code yourself
• Clear All Data option to wipe everything instantly

Fauxx is free, open-source, and contains no ads.
