## Description

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.
