They break a lot of websites and require a lot of user interaction. There is a steep learning curve with these two addons, and noscript seems to me to be the easier of the two to use. (optional) - I also use either the Noscript addon ( ) or the umatrix addon ( ) to give me more control over blocking scripts, iframes, ads, other items that web sites try to run on my browser.

The trouble for them will be figuring out how to track my browser.įirst steps, I change some settings in about:config to prevent fingerprinting and tracking and tighten up against data leakage.ġ.

But if someone were watching for a browser that looked like something a spy would use, my lack of any fingerprints will probably stand out. However, due to the randomness that will be used with the fingerprint spoofing, my personal opinion is that my browser will be very hard to track. These steps seem to defeat almost all fingerprinting attempts, but in so doing my browser is unique. I did not try these steps with the Tor Browser - the Tor Browser is supposed to be used exactly as it is downloaded, so that everyone has the same setup and my instance 'blends in' with all other Tor instances. I used these steps with a vpn - without a vpn, I personally think there are other ways my IP would be tracked. This is an experiment I've been trying when running abrowser to defeat or spoof attempts at fingerprinting. I could probably learn more from you than you could from me in that case. If this is an area of interest for you, I'd really like to hear about your methods for overcoming fingerprinting in the replies. Sorry in advance that this is overly long - please don't spend time reading or trying any of this unless you have a particular interest in overcoming browser fingerprinting.

THIS IS JUST AN EXPERIMENT, DON'T TRY THESE STEPS UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO WASTE AND DON'T MIND BREAKING YOUR BROWSING EXPERIENCE WARNING - THESE STEPS WILL BREAK MANY/MOST, OR POSSIBLY ALL WEBSITES THAT YOU VISIT.
