CthulhuJs (Anti-Fingerprint) : version 8_0_6 UPDATE. It's ironic that I needed to add an "extension manager" to this list, as I test each and every extension above in detail against privacy test sites. I tested a few free, ad free, no-registration privacy-aware extension managers, and the one I like most so far is this on Mozilla & Chromium. Extension Manager by HongYuanCao for Mozilla-based browsers: <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/extensions-manager/> Extension Manager by HongYuanCao for Chromium-based browsers: <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/extension-manager/gjldcdngmdknpinoemndlidpcabkggco> a. It's available on both Chrome & Firefox, which is rare for EMs. b. It's ad-free, registration-free, and privacy-respecting. c. It has batch actions, grouping, and a clean UI. d. The developer appears to be transparent and responsive. Meanwhile, I've been testing the VPN extensions which passed the initial tests, where my fungible test-rating system puts them in this order: 1_browsec 2_1clickvpn 3_1vpn 4_vpnly 5_xvpn 6_securefreeedgevpn 7_setupvpn Bearing in mind these all failed the most basic initial VPN tests. hotspotshieldvpn itopvpn protonvpn urbanvpn hidemevpn hiddenbatvpn tunnelbearvpn windscribevpn In summary, we're pretty close to making a DIY browser, in both Mozilla-land and Chromium land, that is distinct from the mothership browser in terms of inherent privacy as tested against privacy test sites.
