Abstract

It is difficult to be anonymous online with user activities always under the scanner. Multiple identifiers and their combinatories are used for user identification. While browsing, trackers keep a record of artifacts such as OS version, screen resolution, and fonts enabled. Browser fingerprinting tries to identify a user’s browser uniquely, without using cookies or other stateful signatures. We propose a browser fingerprint defender tool to anonymize user browsers. It creates captures current user attributes and anonymizes them before sending a request to the server. It also gives current browser fingerprint attributes.
