Privacy Thing is a powerful cross-browser extension designed to significantly reduce digital fingerprinting across the web. It offers granular control over 53 browser properties, methods, and constructors, organized into 13 distinct protection categories including geolocation, Canvas, WebGL, and WebRTC. Available now as a Preview version for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, this tool empowers users to safeguard their online identity by masking sensitive device and environment data. By actively managing these fingerprinting surfaces, Privacy Thing helps maintain user anonymity without compromising essential browsing functionality.
