Browser Fingerprint Protector
This extension is no longer maintained or recommended, as I don't believe this battle can be won. To try to protect against fingerprinting attacks, consider using Tor Browser or similar projects.
~Available in Firefox Add-ons and Chrome Web Store.~
How it works
The extension protects the information in window.navigator and HTTP request headers to complicate browser fingerprinting.
- Completely hides
mimeTypes and plugins.
- Pretends that you only have
English US language.
- Pretends that you use
Windows 10.
How to validate that it works
- whoer.net is a good way to see what browser is leaking. Ignore the "anonymity percentage", focus on the information that it is able to retrieve, such as languages, user agent, plugins, etc.
- Most Common User Agents is a website that shows the current most common user agent. It is expected that with this extension your browser is listed among the first few entries in the table.
