Add-on summary

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

This add-on 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 WebGPU API, in general, two types of fingerprints can be generated. One with WebGPU specs (constant metrics) and the other with an image that is rendered with the WebGPU API on a canvas. This extension 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 options page.

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill out the bug report form on the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/webgpu-defender.html).
