AudioContext Fingerprint Defender

Defending against AudioContext fingerprinting by reporting a fake value.

AudioContext Fingerprint Defender: Online Privacy Chrome Extension

'AudioContext Fingerprint Defender' is a Chrome extension aimed at protecting your privacy online. Instead of blocking web audio API methods, it adds slight noise to your actual fingerprint and renews it with every website visit or page reload. It efficiently hides your actual audiocontext fingerprint by generating random fake values. It requires no adjustments; installation is the only step.
