It should fake JavaScript API and provide fake info to trackers. There no many users and Mozilla is not tracking it for security.

    It’s quite good. I’d rate it the second most essential browser extension, after uBlock Origin.

      (not JS, but should help with mobile)

        Invizible pro is very good, but it does not do what this does.

        I used invizible before I switched to RethinkDNS

      I just tried it in Smart Cookie Web Preview and it works. Note that scwp is out of date though. It lets you add any extension without creating a custom collection with Mozilla.

        It’s pretty much the only thing that Creep.js doesn’t see right through. At least in my checks on Android

          I don’t remember which site can but check under Arkenfox wiki for fingerprinting test sites. Iirc I saw a test that could fingerprint jshelter but I could be wrong.

    Just tested it out. I thought it was like NoScript in the sense that it would break all websites, but it doesn’t. That’s a better extension than I thought
