WebGL Fingerprint Defender: Protect Your Privacy with Fake Values

WebGL Fingerprint Defender is a browser extension available on Chrome that allows users to hide their real WebGL fingerprint by reporting a random fake value. This add-on is designed to protect your privacy by adding a small amount of noise to your actual fingerprint and renewing it each time you visit a website or reload a page.

Many tech blogs suggest that completely blocking the WebGL API is not the best solution, making reporting a fake fingerprint a more effective approach. This extension offers the ability to spoof both the WebGL constants and the image rendered with the WebGL API, providing comprehensive protection.

To disable the add-on, users can simply visit the extensions page in their browser and click on the disable button. It’s important to note that this add-on does not have a toolbar icon or button, ensuring a seamless and unobtrusive experience.

WebGL Fingerprint Defender was developed in collaboration with the author of “Canvas Fingerprint Defender,” another popular browser extension that focuses on protecting against canvas fingerprinting.

If you have any feature requests or would like to report a bug, you can do so by filling out the bug report form on the add-on’s homepage.
