Font Fingerprint Defender: Defend Against Font Fingerprinting
"Font Fingerprint Defender" is a Firefox plug-in that enhances internet privacy. It disguises the real font fingerprint of a user by randomly generating fake ones to protect from potential tracking. This add-on doesn't directly block fingerprinting but obfuscates the real one by adding noise. It offers user-friendly implementation without the need for adjusting settings or options.
