  • Revamped the design of this page and the Options page: wider layout, larger/more readable words, and intuitive buttons. On the new Options page you are able to toggle between Grouped and List views by clicking on the button in the top-right corner.
  • Added a new Fingerprinting Protection section with the following options (all disabled by default):
    • Canvas Fingerprint Protection - protect against fingerprinting attempts through <canvas> elements, with the following options:
      • Disabled
      • Blank Readout (serve an empty canvas with the original dimensions)
      • Random Readout (serve an empty canvas with random dimensions)
      • Completely Block Readout (refuse to serve any data)
    • Block Audio Fingerprinting - prevent fingerprinting via the AudioContext API
    • Block WebGL Fingerprinting - prevent fingerprinting via the WebGL API
    • Block Battery Fingerprinting - prevent fingerprinting via the Battery API
    • Block Device Enumeration - prevent having hardware devices detected via the WebRTC API
    • Block Gamepad Enumeration - prevent having hardware devices detected via the Gamepad API
    • Block Canvas Font Access - prevent system fonts from being enumerated through <canvas> elements
    • Block Client Rectangles Fingerprinting - prevent fingerprinting through calculating element client rectangles)
    • Reduce Keyboard Fingerprinting (for advanced users) - make keypress timings more random to increase anonymity (note: adds a random delay between keypresses))
    • I recommend enabling all of the above options (except the last two) for increased privacy, and based on your needs disable the options that interfere with your usage.
  • Added Remove Google Analytics (UTM) Tracking option (under Privacy Settings) - remove Google Analytics (UTM) tracking tokens before they're actually passed to the server (disabled by default)
  • Added Remove Possible Hash Tracking option (under Privacy Settings) - remove possible tracking tokens passed using hash, where there is an attribute and value (e.g. #xtor=RSS-1) (disabled by default)
  • Added Spoof Timezone option (under Privacy Settings) - spoof or randomize your timezone; useful if you use VPN (disabled by default)
  • Added Prevent Clipboard Interference option (under Behavior Settings) - prevent pages from interfering with clipboard actions (disabled by default)
  • Added option to apply user-agent spoofing on whitelisted domains as well (default behaviour is to disable spoofing on whitelisted domains to avoid issues, but enabling this option will spoof the user-agent regardless)
  • Added Save as Text File functionality to the Export Settings portion in the Options page
  • Fix Panel expand issue for Mac OS X users
  • Updated unwanted content providers list
  • Created a beta testing signup form. If you sign up to become a beta tester, you will be emailed when there is a new version ready to be tested before being pushed to the Chrome Web Store. Sign up to be a beta tester!
  • I now have a Bitcoin address due to inquiries from people wary of PayPal but wanted to still donate!
