Description

Font Fingerprint Defender is a lite extension that let you easily hide your real font fingerprint by reporting a random fake value and protect your privacy. This add-on does NOT block the fingerprint, instead, it simply adds a small noise to the actual fingerprint and "renews" it every time you visit a website or reload a page. It is important to note that, this add-on does not have any settings or options to adjust. Simply add it to your browser and start surfacing the internet. If you want to test this add-on, please visit a website that show your fingerprint (i.e. webbrowsertools.com/font-fingerprint/). Every time you reload the page, you will see a new fake fingerprint. This extension is made in collaboration with the author of "Canvas Fingerprint Defender": https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/canvas-fingerprint-defend/lanfdkkpgfjfdikkncbnojekcppdebfp Note 1: depending on your browser and platform, you may need to (Shift+Refresh) a web page to renew Font fingerprint. Note 2: To report bugs, please visit addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/font-defender.html) and fill the bug report form.

AFAIK, it spoofs what it is supposed to. I dislike tabs opening with Font Fingerprint Defender (FFD) ads. FFD just opened the tab in the browser and first line says "Advertisement", and rest is all about FFD. I just spotted it, had I known when I clicked 'Report" was going to handed off to Google, I would have stopped there. WARN people when you're going to send them to the king of stalkers. I and I am certain others, use FFD as a defense against all the SMIRC ers and that does NOT preclude Google. Not donating, may just clean out FFD and make certain nothing left and then take a shower.

We need this extension to change the fingerprint only once for each new page load, and not on every page refresh.

I don't know if it's by design but it broke Discord scrolling so bad.
