Because of their side effects, browser fingerprinting countermeasures may have a negative impact on users privacy. In this post we look more in details at Canvas Defender, a canvas fingerprinting countermeasure.

Where Am I Right Now, Asking 'Where Am I?' or 'My Current Location?'. This web detects your location, and display your location on google map (latitude, longitude, and LOCATION NAME).

Inox patchset tries to provide a minimal Chromium based browser with focus on privacy by disabling data transmission to Google.

We show how third-party scripts exploit browsers’ built-in login managers (also called password managers) to retrieve and exfiltrate user identifiers without user awareness. To the best of our knowledge, our research is the first to show that login managers are being abused by third-party scripts for the purposes of web tracking.

Fluxfonts is a specialized tool that attempts to tackle the privacy concerns raised by the possibility to collect information about the fonts installed on a system. Such information can be used to uniquely identify a system. With Fluxfonts, new fonts are randomly created and removed to prevent the same fingerprint from being recreated.

Font fingerprinting is a technique which is difficult and usually inconvenient for users to circumvent by other means. Fluxfonts is fully automated and runs in the background. By effectively always having a new unique fingerprint, it should prevent a system from being (re‐)identified between applications and web sites/‐browsers.
