[QUOTE="Sunkar, post: 972039, member: 94059"] Thank you all for welcoming :). Thanks for feedback. In the near future, we will drop the old page that you have linked and be using [URL='https://jshelter.org/levels/']a new one[/URL]. I think, the clarification of description within the extension is planned for 0.7 GUI update. Please, can you give me more information about your issues with fingerprinting detection? I'm directly responsible for this feature and would like to replicate the problem. For me and my colleagues it's working as intended. Can you share your Firefox version and OS via PM? You shouldn't be aware of the changes. If you can tell something has changed, potential attacker will do as well. I recommend to take a look at our [URL='https://jshelter.org/blog/']blogs[/URL] to get a better understanding how the extension works. But if you will, you can compare output data of different JS APIs on our [URL='https://polcak.github.io/jsrestrictor/test/test.html']test page[/URL] (with and without the extension). It won't simply hide or change your userAgent because it may introduce inconsistency of the fingerprint and make it more unique. What we want to achieve is to [URL='https://jshelter.org/farbling/']create separate consistent fingerprint[/URL] for each visited domain, so trackers from different domains cannot link your online activity. Thanks for feedback. Unfortunately, I wasn't involved in the naming process. From what I know, it was initially called JS-Shield, but we changed it to supposedly more original name (to match the logo). However, I don't think Privacy Badger or Ghostery are more self-explanatory in this regard. [B]FEATURE REQUEST 1[/B] [URL='https://jshelter.org/farbling/']Already doing this way[/URL] and [URL='https://jshelter.org/fingerprinting/']some more info about "hiding in the herd"[/URL]. [B]FEATURE REQUEST 2[/B] Definition of a custom level is intended for advanced users. We recommend to use pre-built levels. I honestly don't understand the last paragraph, as we already using pre-built levels and users can change the setting for a website. By default, all websites have assigned recommended setting. If you change it, it will be saved for this website in the future. Thanks again for your feedback.
