Description from store
Web browser fingerprinting can be used by the websites to track the website visitors and build their profiles. In order to understand how this fingerprinting mechanism works, and provide corresponding protection we have developed a web browser extension StopFingerpinting.
The ultimate goal of the extension is to provide the protection from fingerprinting techniques. As a first step, StopFingerprinting extension is gathering the browser fingerprints (similar to those collected by Panopticlick) in order to analyse the stability of browser fingerprints.
The browser extension you are about to install only accesses user’s browser and operating system properties enlisted below and consequently sends the collected data to a secure server at INRIA. This data will only be used for research purposes inside INRIA and will not be shared with anyone outside of INRIA.
Information collected:
+ UserAgent
+ IP address
+ HTTP headers sent to the server
