I would be very grateful for feedback! I plan to continuously improve the privacy and usability of Privacy Magic. Typically adblockers block ads and trackers, but Privacy Magic does much more than that: - Fingerprinting resistance: Privacy Magic hardens canvas, time zone, battery, audio, and many more APIs to block fingerprinting
- Third-party cookies: all blocked by default
- Tracking URL parameters: all removed
- Browser Ad APIs: all disabled
- Workers and iframes: Hardening is propagated to these contexts After working for the past decade on Tor Browser, Firefox, and Brave, I wanted to see if it's possible to protect users where 90% of them already are: on Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome and Edge. I'm happy to answer questions about tradeoffs between privacy and usability!
