About JShelter

JShelter modifies the JavaScript APIs pages can reach, adding noise or restricting precision for the interfaces most used in fingerprinting, and includes a network boundary shield against requests from public pages to local addresses. Protection levels are adjustable per site.

Strengths

  • Targets fingerprinting APIs specifically instead of blocking scripts wholesale
  • Network boundary shield blocks public pages probing your local network

Limitations

  • Stronger levels break sites that legitimately use the affected APIs
  • Adding noise can itself make a browser more distinctive in some cases
