ZBeacon Transmitter Firefox

ZBeacon Transmitter

ZBT is the client part for a distributed universally verifiable true random number web beacon. ZBT allows clients to fight back against mass surveillance by providing true RNG for anyone and everyone, while providing privacy enhancing tools.

Features & Capabilities

ZBeacon Transmitter is a Firefox add-on that allows users to fight against mass surveillance by providing true random number generation and privacy-enhancing features. It collects user data, extracts randomness, and securely sends it to central servers to mix with others' randomness. The generated random numbers are used for encryption and other cryptographic purposes. The add-on is unnoticeable during regular browsing and can be used in the Tor browser without affecting the fingerprint. It also provides privacy tools such as a news aggregator and cache clearing feature.

the dev is really responsive 5 stars for doing what it says! (WARNING: if you press new identity it deletes everything that can be deleted, including that you get disconnected from sync! except passwords [which was fixed in less than 10 minutes after I tested the extention and spotted the bug])

Is ZBeacon Transmitter Safe?

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.

ZBeacon Transmitter requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

ZBeacon Transmitter has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
