Help us fight browser fingerprinting

• alcuadrado 14y ago
  I'm doing an internship at Inria (France) about browser fingerprinting. We are trying to create some protection against them. But before that we need to really understand how they can be composed and how stable they are (among other things). In order to do that we need a horrible lot of data, so we develop Chrome and Firefox that automatically send this data to our servers every our. Please help us improve internet privacy by installing the extensions!

      Sure it does, that was the research project that brought most of the attention to this topic.

  "Stop fingerprinting!" ... "Give us your browser fingerprint!"

  As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason my browser should have to supply my font set. One of many reasons I try hard to browse with Javascript disabled. There are many other pieces to this, but for one, I want a packaged ability to turn this off and/or to supply a canned list of fonts (that presumably matches the list provided by many other users/computers using the same functionality and list).
