Trace - Online Tracking Protection

Browse online without leaving a Trace, because who wants to be tracked?

Trace - Online Tracking Protection is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed to shield your online activity from sophisticated tracking methods. It blocks various fingerprinting techniques such as canvas, audio, WebGL, JS cryptocurrency mining domains, and hardware identifiers to keep your digital footprint private.

Key features include spoofing of user-agent, screen resolution, battery API, and network information to further obfuscate your identity. It also prevents IP leakage via WebRTC, blocks malicious domains, stops hyperlink auditing, controls referrer headers, mitigates E-Tag tracking, and removes specific tracking cookies and URL parameters.

Open source and actively maintained, Trace empowers users who value their privacy online.

I could check the WebRTC leakage and the result was negative, with this app you won't be protected

The best extension for tracking protection! I hope the author will continue to develop and support it!

Most works great but webgl protection causes google maps to display weird so its unusable. I also have to disable canvas protection on websites like foxnews because it messes with the thumbnails.
