Ghost Browser
Free Chrome extension that auto-browses random sites in the background to poison your ad profile. Obfuscate your browsing data from advertisers.
Ad networks build a behavioral profile of you based on every site you visit. Ghost Browser fights back by automatically browsing thousands of random sites in the background, flooding your profile with noise until it becomes useless to advertisers. It cycles through 20,000 URLs across 10 categories — government, education, news, sports, brands, and more — using a Fisher-Yates shuffle so no site repeats until the full pool is covered. Set the intensity from 50 to 300 sites per hour. Configure dwell time, enable auto-clear history, and set a schedule for overnight runs. A floating widget shows live stats without opening the popup. Your real browsing signal disappears into the noise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Ghost Browser.
How does profile poisoning work?
Ad networks track sites you visit to build a behavioral profile. Ghost Browser floods that profile with thousands of random site visits, making the signal meaningless.
Does it slow down my browsing?
No. It opens sites in the background using a single tab. You can also set it to only-when-idle mode so it pauses when you are actively using Chrome.
Does it collect my data?
No. The extension runs entirely locally. No data leaves your browser.
What is ad profile poisoning?
Visiting a wide mix of random sites so ad networks can't build an accurate picture of your interests.
Will it use my bandwidth?
Some. It loads real web pages in the background, so choose a lower intensity on metered connections.
