| 2026-07-23 | Co***** | If you value your online privacy, seriously consider this extension. The author(s) have released this to address four threats we all face online: user tracking, overly-capable browser APIs, local network scanning, and microarchitectural attacks. If you use uBO, you owe it to yourself to use this as well to protect you from first-party fingerprinting and tracking! | |

| 2026-04-12 | It***** | The only extension that really safely alters your fingerprint on Firefox. Highly recommended as an addition to your adblocker and strict tracking protection in Firefox | |

| 2024-11-20 | Mu***** | I use this with custom settings (see below) in combination with CanvasBlocker to make my browser extremely resistant to fingerprinting well maintaining web functionality. I also highly recommend using LocalCDN to reduce tracking. Check out the add-on CloudHole by scakemyer if CloudFlare is a issue or your running a VPN but I usually have no issues.

| 2024-08-06 | Wh***** | Extremely complex but the only working fingerprint spoofing extension out there now that the original Fingerprint Spoofing extension/add-on has been removed from Github because later reiterations are malware and developer has stopped supporting it more than 5 years ago. On Firefox, but not Chrome it ramps up CPU usage and RAM. | |

| 2024-07-05 | RY***** | The fingerprint protection this offers is comprehensive and is the only one that I have encountered that protects against the "Creepjs" fingerprinter. I have tested it against multiple other sites like browserleaks and fingerprint/demo. HOWEVER, about half the internet does not work with this extension because CloudFlare blocks you with a message "This Browser Is Out of Date" which makes you turn off the extension. If you can fix that issue, I'll mark this to 5 stars. | |
