Features & Capabilities

This extension provides practical information about what a browser fingerprint is, and shows whether the currently visited website collects a fingerprint. A popup displays whether a canvas, WebGL or audio fingerprint was captured. Additionally, the use of sensor, battery level and location tracking is displayed.

Warning: I do not recommend to have this Add-on installed permanently. It has been shown that a website can theoretically fingerprint the add-ons a user has installed by checking the scripts executed in the Global JavaScript Namespace (this add-on runs own code in the Namespace, which is common for add-ons). By permanently installing this add-on an aggressive anti-privacy website might gain an additional identifier to your online identity. Just use it for informational and research purposes :)

Is Browserabdruck - Durchblickt 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.

Browserabdruck - Durchblickt requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Browserabdruck - Durchblickt has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
