I could check the WebRTC leakage and the result was negative, with this app you won't be protected

The best extension for tracking protection! I hope the author will continue to develop and support it!

Most works great but webgl protection causes google maps to display weird so its unusable. I also have to disable canvas protection on websites like foxnews because it messes with the thumbnails.

Extension safety

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.

Trace - Online Tracking Protection requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
