Description

Privacy Tweaks is an extension that helps you improve your privacy while browsing by using ten different techniques. Simply open toolbar popup UI and mark a desired tweak. Please note that, only few tweaks are selected by default. Also, please keep in mind that, depending on your browser version and platform, this add-on might behave differently. There are few settings (related to timezone, geolocation and proxy) available in toolbar popup to adjust. Currently there are 10 tweaks available for this add-on: 1. Block most common ads. 2. Block canvas fingerprint. 3. Block font fingerprint. 4. Block webgl fingerprint. 5. Block audiocontext fingerprint. 6. Block webrtc IP leakage. 7. Change browser timezone. 8. Change browser geolocation. 9. Set custom socks5 proxy. 10. Block most common trackers. Note 1: I have made this extension with Yubi's collaboration. This add-on is inspired by Speed Tweaks made by Yubi: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speed-tweaks/afebilemcaepdkmhmibgmnpfppnjimjf Note 2: to report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/privacy-tweaks.html).

It seems to work but the whitelist feature is broken, so the extension is useless.

Good, but takes over control of proxy function, making it impossible to use with vpn extensions. Should had an option to disable proxy control.
