This is the great Keyboard-privacy add-on, written from Paul Moore https://paul.reviews/behavioral-profiling-the-password-you-cant-change/ for Chrome. Unfortunately, it was never ported for FF. It disables behavioral tracking!

Features & Capabilities

The behavioral-Keyboard-Privacy Chrome extension is a security tool designed to block behavioral profiling methods that track keyboard typing patterns. Developed based on research by security experts Paul Moore and Per Thorsheim, it randomizes the timing of characters reaching the DOM to prevent attackers from profiling your typing behavior.

Although originally for Chrome, this add-on can be installed in Firefox using the Chrome Store Foxified plugin. The extension effectively reduces keyboard tracking risks, enhancing user privacy without noticeable lag, making it useful for safeguarding passwords and sensitive inputs against advanced behavioral profiling techniques.

its not working on most of sites i use :(

I had tested this on FF45 and FF52 but the addOn's interface back then was all broken. Now on FF77, the interface works great, but I do not think the addOn works, even with a 1000ms delay I can see my characters arriving on Keytrack as soon as I type them. Works great in Chrome though.

Great except it doesn't work when writing a comment on facebook or youtube, though I am not sure if they use behavioral monitoring there, it may be the search bar where they capture data instead, please let me know and i will update my star review accordingly. seems to work sporadically on search engines. on bing it never staggered my text, on duck duck go it works half the time...

Is behavioral-Keyboard-Privacy Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

behavioral-Keyboard-Privacy requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
