Show HN: Donut Browser, a Browser Orchestrator

90 포인트작성자: andrewzeno4일 전
Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;m excited to share my open source project, a browser orchestrator. It&#x27;s purpose is to make it easy to manage many browser profiles on one system. Currently it only works on MacOS, but since I&#x27;ve built it using Tauri (which is a Rust backend and TypeScript frontend), I expect to add Linux and Windows support in the future.<p>I&#x27;ve built it primarily for myself as I use a lot of browsers and having an easy way to manage all of my profiles would make (have made, actually) my dock less cluttered haha. Also, part of why I built it is because as someone who doesn&#x27;t really care about anti-detect features (which I might support in the future), I don&#x27;t understand how they cost so much for a very limited number of profiles in pretty much all anti-detect browsers. I feel like a lot of people feel the same and will cover their use cases with my free tool.<p>If you try it, please share your feedback! I haven&#x27;t seen any open source projects like this and want to learn more about how people might use it.

This is really awesome, I do this myself with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;go-rod&#x2F;rod">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;go-rod&#x2F;rod</a><p>I have hacky cli tools I&#x27;ve built with it that manage lots of different browser profiles for scrapers. I need some sort of API though so I&#x27;m not sure Donut will do it for me, however, I may find some use for it.

Looks great! Useful for privacy but also to keep work and private life separated. Will be on the lookout for other OS versions!

This is great for web developers who have to manually write multi-browser compliant code. Fat frameworks might take care of the cross compat stuff, but for those raw dogging, this will be good.

Are you… me ? I have 6 browsers for 6 different independent profiles. Instead of using browser profiles I need different browsers for different features (no google tracking, youtube, business services, web development etc.) I was wondering if I was the only one crazy<p>Would be practical to have a unified way to install extensions in all of them

This is awesome. Thanks for your efforts!<p>Seeing it&#x27;s not signed by Apple, I was wondering if you&#x27;d be open for a donation to get you a proper account so the app can be distributed more &quot;solidly&quot; without Gatekeeper in the way.<p>Let me know. More than happy to get you in there.

Super duper stuff. Love the interface and ease of use.<p>I can&#x27;t seem to figure out how to stop and start browsers while restoring my sessions, i&#x27;m I missing something obvious?

This is nice, just the other week I was trying to create different profiles that connect to separate proxies. This is a far nicer solution.

This actually looks like a cool project. Is it easy to move profiles from one computer to another with it?

Thanks for sharing, but I&#x27;m curious what problem this solves. You&#x27;re clearly stating what type of solution it is in &quot;it&#x27;s purpose is to make it easy to manage many browser profiles on one system.&quot;<p>But why am I looking for this solution? I personally use Chrome, and sometimes have to test things on Firefox, but that&#x27;s either one-offs or using Puppeteer.<p>The closest I get is under the Default Browser feature: &quot;Forget about opening links in the wrong browser. Donut Browser will allow you to choose what browser you want to use for each link.&quot;<p>Perhaps some example where you&#x27;ve found the default browser feature useful?

This looks awesome. Is there any support for automation frameworks like puppeteer?

What are &quot;anti detect&quot; features?

I think this is someone that would be really helpful to me. I use Firefox, which has fairly ‘meh’ browser profile support at the moment. If I click a link systemwide, it’ll usually open in the wrong profile (whatever Firefox considers the ‘default’)<p>I used to use Arc, and loved the system they had to let you pick a profile to open a link with.<p>Would this let me see a prompt when clicking on a link, and let me decide which Firefox profile to use&#x2F;additionally pick other browsers? That sounds like it would be perfect.

This looks promising, will definitely give it a shot. Good stuff!

looks pretty cool. Is it for creating multiple accounts on online services? I.e. for creating and managing Instagram and Twitter account accounts.
