Privacy Extension

Provides Privacy for Chrome

What is Privacy Extension?

Privacy Extension is a Chrome extension providing complete control over the data your browser exposes. This includes the ability to clear cookies, databases, and local/session storage associated with a specific URL and its resources. It provides a safeguard against browser and canvas fingerprinting through restricting the exposure of various header fields and JavaScript functionalities. Notably, Privacy Extension enables users to customize their referer and user agent fields - further enhancing their control over personal data. This tool offers an effective solution for limiting the entropy for fingerprints by disabling cookies and JavaScript in their entirety. Privacy Extension is a free, open-source software.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Privacy Extension gives you control over the data exposed by your browser.

Clear cookies, databases and local/session storage for the url in the active tab and its embedded resources (e.g. frames, images, scripts).

Prevent browser and canvas fingerprinting by restricting exposure of header fields (Accept, Cookie, Referer and User-Agent) and JavaScript objects or functions (document.cookie, navigator, Canvas.toDataURL and window.name).

You may also set your own refer(r)er or user agent. This fields and your cookie settings will be propagated to both: header fields AND JavaScript.

Please note, that disabling cookies and JavaScript entirely is one of the most effective measures to limit the entropy for fingerprints.

This software is free and open source. See LICENSE for details.

Klasse! Funktioniert bestens, vielen Dank. Vielleicht könnte man noch einen Window.Name Schutz implementieren.(Ever Cookie)
