Defending against AudioContext fingerprinting by reporting a fake value.

Download

Install Compare

AudioContext Fingerprint Defender is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to enhance your online privacy by masking your real AudioContext fingerprint. Instead of blocking audio APIs, it subtly modifies the fingerprint data with random noise, generating a new fake fingerprint each time you reload or visit a website. This approach helps prevent tracking via AudioContext fingerprinting without interrupting your browsing experience.

The extension is easy to use — just install it and start surfing the web. It requires no configuration and works silently in the background. To verify its effectiveness, visit fingerprinting test sites such as audiofingerprint.openwpm; you will notice a unique fingerprint upon every page refresh. For best results on some browsers, use Shift+Refresh to renew the fingerprint. For bug reports or more information, visit the addon homepage.
