Defending against WebGL fingerprinting by reporting a fake value.
WebGL Fingerprint Defender - Privacy add-on for Edge
'WebGL Fingerprint Defender' is an Edge extension that enhances user privacy by masking the real WebGL fingerprint with a randomly generated one. This helps to protect user privacy without entirely blocking WebGL API as it injects a small noise to the actual fingerprint, altering it every time a webpage is visited or refreshed. It can simultaneously spoof two types of fingerprints – those generated with WebGL constants or rendered with the WebGL API.
