Defending against ClientRects fingerprinting by reporting a fake value.
ClientRects Fingerprint Defender Extension
"ClientRects Fingerprint Defender" is a Chrome extension designed to protect users from ClientRects fingerprinting by reporting random fake values. The extension modifies the output of the native getClientRects() method, which is used to identify users based on element metrics. By adding a layer of noise and refreshing the fingerprint each time a page is visited, it enhances user privacy. To disable the add-on, users can easily do so from their browser's extensions page, with no options page available. For feature requests or bug reports, users are encouraged to visit the add-on's homepage.
