Description

Privacy Extension gives you control over the data exposed by your browser.

Clear cookies, databases and local/session storage for the url in the active tab and its embedded resources (e.g. frames, images, scripts).

Prevent browser and canvas fingerprinting by restricting exposure of header fields (Accept, Cookie, Referer and User-Agent) and JavaScript objects or functions (document.cookie, navigator, Canvas.toDataURL and window.name).

You may also set your own refer(r)er or user agent. This fields and your cookie settings will be propagated to both: header fields AND JavaScript.

Please note, that disabling cookies and JavaScript entirely is one of the most effective measures to limit the entropy for fingerprints.

This software is free and open source. See LICENSE for details.

Latest changes (Version 1.1)
- fixed method for overwriting navigator attributes (delete navigator.* no longer worked in Chrome 43, now using __defineGetter__)
- added option to prevent window.name attribute to be used as vector for ever cookies (as suggested in the comments)
- added X-Client-Data to list of blocked headers if user agent is hidden

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
