About this extension
An extension to stop multiple advanced tracking techniques employed by websites all over the web.

Trace has not been updated since 2021 and will likely not be updated again due to me not having time to work on it

Trace provides the following features:
  • Canvas Fingerprint Spoofing (Video)
  • Audio Fingerprinting Protection
  • WebGL Fingerprinting Protection (Updated)
  • JS Crypto Currency Mining Domain Blocking
  • WebRTC IP Leakage Protection
  • WebRTC Device Enumeration Protection
  • Client Rects Protection
  • Screen Resolution Spoofing
  • User-Agent Spoofing
  • Battery API Spoofing
  • Browser Plugin Fingerprinting Protection
  • Hardware Fingerprinting Protection
  • Beacon/'Ping' Request Blocking
  • Blocks Malicious Top Level Domains
  • Hyperlink Auditing Prevention
  • HTTP Referrer Header Controls (Video)
  • Chrome Header Tracking Controls
  • E-Tag Tracking Mitigation
  • Removal of URL Tracking Parameters
  • Removal of specific Tracking Cookies

Trace was made in my spare time as an extension to stop online tracking and give the user more control over browser features which may have been hard to find, or in other cases enabled with no option to disable. There is no team of developers behind Trace, I wrote it by myself and so you can be sure that there is no evil corporation behind it trying to get your data. If you don't believe me, check the source code, it's on GitHub.
