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.

      it’s a difference approach, OP maximizes the data being harvested to make it harder to tell what the real usage data is, turning off javascript minimizes the data being collected but potentially makes you unique and stand out among other vanilla users

      just as an FYI, having JavaScript off potentially adds to your fingerprint.
