It should fake JavaScript API and provide fake info to trackers. There no many users and Mozilla is not tracking it for security.

      I just tried it in Smart Cookie Web Preview and it works. Note that scwp is out of date though. It lets you add any extension without creating a custom collection with Mozilla.

      (not JS, but should help with mobile)

        Invizible pro is very good, but it does not do what this does.

        I used invizible before I switched to RethinkDNS

    Just tested it out. I thought it was like NoScript in the sense that it would break all websites, but it doesn’t. That’s a better extension than I thought

        It’s pretty much the only thing that Creep.js doesn’t see right through. At least in my checks on Android

          I don’t remember which site can but check under Arkenfox wiki for fingerprinting test sites. Iirc I saw a test that could fingerprint jshelter but I could be wrong.

    It’s quite good. I’d rate it the second most essential browser extension, after uBlock Origin.
