The "Toggle Resist Fingerprinting" Chrome extension adds a convenient button to your browser's tab bar that allows you to quickly enable or disable the "resist fingerprinting" setting. This setting helps protect your privacy by preventing websites from uniquely identifying your browser through fingerprinting techniques, which are often used for tracking purposes.

Note that enabling resist fingerprinting may impact website functionality or cause some sites to break. The extension places its icon by default in the tab bar, and if you use other extensions that modify the tab bar, you may need to temporarily revert to the default tab bar to access the toggle.

This extension leverages a simple UI element to give users quick control over an important privacy feature, empowering greater control over online fingerprinting and tracking without complicated configuration.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Toggle Resist Fingerprinting requires very minimum permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
