WebGL Fingerprint Defender is a browser extension that let you easily hide your real WebGL fingerprint by reporting a random fake value.

According to many tech blogs, completely blocking WebGL API is not a good idea, therefore reporting a fake fingerprint could be the best solution to better protect your privacy. This add-on simply adds a small noise to the actual fingerprint and renews it every time you visit a website or reload a page.

With the browser's WebGL API, in general, two types of fingerprints can be generated. One with WebGL constants and the other with an image that is rendered with the WebGL API. This add-on can spoof both values at the same time.

To disable this add-on, please visit the extensions page in your browser and then click on the disable button. Please note that this add-on does not have any toolbar icon/button.

This extension is made in collaboration with the author of "Canvas Fingerprint Defender":

It's great at what it does. And I was shocked to see just how many sites are using browser fingerprinting of one sort or another. But it really needs some configuration options. You can't even turn it on and off from the menubar if it breaks a site. You've got to actually open your browser's preferences and disable it, which is about as user-unfriendly as you can get.

App works great. BUT it needs an exemption feature (ie: do not block fingerprint on selected sites). I have to keep going into my settings to disable it for my bank sites. Thank you!

Netflix always checks you out before, after and sometimes during video playing. This one helps spoofing that one. Thanks WebGL Fingerprint Defender! I actually thought Netflix was morally superior (my bad) and that this extension didn't help that much (my bad too). Really! Thanks XX Fingerprint Defender. I already installed all of the plugins and they actually work well. I had no problems on any site.

On the https://browserleaks.com/webgl time to time a real "WebGL Image Hash" is shown, although the extension notifies of a fake. Same thing on https://webbrowsertools.com/webgl-fingerprint/ . From time to time the same one appears "Fingerprint ID Method: red solid box".

Thank you for the extensions, but some websites like starbucks.com can detect the spoofing, so they don't allow any login. The problem is within `parameter` spoofing.
