What is WebGL Fingerprint Defender

Defending against WebGL fingerprinting by reporting a fake value

WebGL Fingerprint Defender is a browser extension that allows users to easily hide their real WebGL fingerprint by reporting a random fake value

It adds a small noise to the actual fingerprint and renews it every time a website is visited or a page is reloaded

The extension can spoof both WebGL constants and the image rendered with the WebGL API

To disable the add-on, users can visit the extensions page in their browser and click on the disable button

Firstly, when I went to install this extension in Chrome (to write this review) I got an error that popped up from Google that said "This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Brows... Show more

Does exactly what it should do and claims it does. Tested at https://browserleaks.com/webgl where it defeated both forms of WebGL hashing. I like that this is a one-exploit fix instead of a plugin claiming to spoof all forms of user fingerprinting, since new methods of that come up all the time. It's better to be certain that you have a particular weakness patched up because you have an extension that corresponds to it exactly, than to go without preventing a leak because you assumed it was...
