Browser Fingerprint Protector

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.
