AudioContext Fingerprint #500

Open gameb0y opened 7 years ago

gameb0y commented 7 years ago

Using the AudioContext API to fingerprint does not collect sound played or recorded by your machine - an AudioContext fingerprint is a property of your machine's audio stack itself. If you choose to see your fingerprint, we will collect the fingerprint along with a randomly assigned identifier, your IP Address, and your User-Agent and store it in a private database so that we can analyze the effectiveness of the technique.

window.wrappedJSObject.AudioContext = undefined; blocks the audiocontext API and stops that site from getting a fingerprint but ideally we want to spoof it. I need to look into the workings to see what functions have to be spoofed for this. I don't know when I'll get time to do that.

I have added the option to block it for now until the spoofing is implemented, it is better to have the option to block it and whitelist it for now, than to have no option at all.
