Description from store Trace An extension to stop multiple advanced tracking techniques employed by websites all over the web. ==================================== Trace can protect against: - Canvas Fingerprint Spoofing - Audio Fingerprinting Protection - WebGL Fingerprinting Protection - JS Crypto Currency Mining Domain Blocking - WebRTC IP Leakage Protection - WebRTC Device Enumeration Protection - Client Rects Protection - User-Agent Spoofing - Network Information API Spoofing - Browser Plugin Fingerprinting Protection - Hardware Fingerprinting Protection - Beacon/'Ping' Request Blocking - Blocks Malicious Top Level Domains - Hyperlink Auditing Prevention - HTTP Referrer Headers Controls - Google Header Tracking Controls - E-Tag Tracking Mitigation - Screen Resolution Spoofing - Battery API Spoofing - Removal of specific Tracking Cookies - Removal of URL Tracking Parameters A Changelog is available here: https://absolutedouble.co.uk/trace/information.html Source code is available here: https://github.com/jake-cryptic/AbsoluteDoubleTrace/ ==================================== 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. ==================================== Privacy Policy can be found in the options page or at: https://absolutedouble.co.uk/trace/privacy.html

  • (2025-07-23) M J: Will get five stars when updated.
  • (2025-02-02) M J: It mostly works, but parts of it don't. If it were updated and fixed it would be five stars. It would also benefit from being made more simple. Unfortunately it looks like the developer has abandoned it.
  • (2024-10-04) CG: This is a really great diamond in the rough for making your browser more private against fingerprinting. It was able to make Vivaldi comparable to Brave for me in regard to coveryourtracks.eff.org seeing Vivaldi as having a randomized fingerprint, where many other options I tried failed with Vivaldi. The code is opensource on github for this extension, which can be found through the extension's settings under info. On their github the dev says they are planning to adapt the extension for the upcoming Manifest version 3 API that will impact many extensions including uBlock. I wanted to check out the developers website and see if I could support them in some way but unfortunately their site seems to be down atm. Dev, you should make it super easy for people to support you through your extension directly, you're doing a great job here as far as I can tell and you'd deserve the support. You should share your work a bit more around online too.

  • (2022-01-10) Shai Farhi: This extension causes repeated "failure to load" errors on google platform services including google docs, google slides, and gmail. Incredibly annoying if you use any of these services.

  • (2021-05-28) Dan Uber: It fails when detecting display resolution and operative system in test https://coveryourtracks.eff.org (detects anyway) It also blocks youtube videos when using audio fingerprint protection. slows down some pages font fingerprint protectios is also marginal.

  • (2021-03-20) Дмитрий: Постоянно "забывает" правила к одним и тем же сайтам - приходиться постоянно добавлять (каждый день). Её работа просто блокирует нормальное функционирование многих сайтов. Надеюсь что эта особенность поднимает уровень безопасности использования сайтов.

  • (2020-11-05) M: Doesnt work on any website I tried "no header protections" ahaha while CanvasBlocker and CyDec find many requests ! Maybe not Brave compatible ? CyDec works so... :/ Ex : nothing detected on https://fingerprintjs.com/demo Chromium 86.0.4240.183

  • (2020-11-03) Sergey Goreev: Dude, I really have no idea how you did the best anti-tracking extension in the whole chromium store alone! But this is unrealistically cool! I hope you have time to support it further. I will definitely buy a premium as soon as this whole story with the virus ends. :)

  • (2020-10-10) Brian: I have to say, while I'm not the biggest fan of the UI (it's quite a bit better when changed to the top layout with premium though), this extension is insanely powerful, and by far the best option among privacy possum, and privacy badger, it takes time to setup properly so it abides by captcha guidelines and doesn't break pages, but once it's setup properly it's fantastic and ridiculously efficient. It negates the need for some extensions I used to use like ping blocker. If I had to give some critiques, I'll have to say that the canvas protection on chrome is not good and there are far better alternatives (it works a lot better on Firefox, seems to function differently), and that the rel=noopener feature literally doesn't work (on both FF and Chrome), despite the criticisms, it's a 10/10 in my book, I hope that it gets long term support.

  • (2020-08-31) Aosimanjiang Aihaiti: It's really good. 5 stars without hesitation. Small request: Language Spoofing and Font Fingerprint Protection
  • (2020-07-05) Abraham: Pros: - client rect, webgl, canvas, and other randomizations protections work - unlike CyDec, the random output is clean and reasonable (no meaningless gibberish) - the developer provides clear settings description and excellent learning resources - the code is open sourc eon github - there are a lot of options Cons: - the github repo is not yet open to contributors - some randomizations renew on every request (looks suspicious): an option to randomize only on new session would be great - audio buffer copyFromChannel does not appear to work and audio buffer getDataChannel is not protected - like many other fingerprint extensions, the code itself can be fingerprinted and there are no protections in place. Enter this in the console to view the code fingerprint: HTMLCanvasElement.prototype.toDataURL.toString() CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.getImageData.toString() Reference https://adtechmadness.wordpress.com/2019/03/23/javascript-tampering-detection-and-stealth/
  • (2020-04-13) Gifford Nowland: Love it. Some sites have issues with the plugin. For example, *docs.google.com* - must have getClientRects Protection disabled or the sheets will return "Something Went Wrong - Refresh. Unable to Load File: try to load it again or send an error report" error. Disabling getClientRects Protection for this will fix the issue.
