开发者Tomasz发布了Privacy Thing浏览器扩展的预览版[1]。该扩展针对Firefox和Chromium浏览器设计，通过控制50多个浏览器API来减少浏览器指纹识别追踪[1]。扩展涵盖13个保护类别，并支持地域配置、域名规则和全局设置等多种自定义选项[1]。
Privacy Thing采用Manifest V3开发，内置X-Ray模块用于向用户显示API的实际使用情况[1]。扩展不会传输任何遥测数据或用户信息[1]。该项目目前以专有许可发布，但开发者计划最终将其改为AGPL开源许可[1]。扩展已在Mozilla Addons和Chrome Web Store上线，Microsoft Edge应用商店的审核仍在进行中[1]。
Developer Tomasz has unveiled a preview version of Privacy Thing, a browser extension designed to protect users against fingerprinting-based tracking [1]. The tool works across Firefox and Chromium-based browsers by controlling access to over 50 browser APIs and methods that trackers commonly exploit to build digital profiles of users [1].
The extension organizes its protections across 13 distinct categories and allows users to customize defenses through geographic profiles, domain-specific rules, and global settings [1]. It includes an X-Ray module that displays which websites attempt to use tracked APIs, giving users visibility into fingerprinting attempts [1]. Notably, the extension does not collect or transmit telemetry or user data [1].
Privacy Thing is currently available on Mozilla Addons and the Chrome Web Store, while its listing on the Microsoft Edge app store remains under review [1]. The extension operates under a proprietary license at present, though Tomasz has announced plans to transition it to AGPL open-source licensing [1].
