[Suggestion] Fighting Mouse-Tracking #541
Comments
Yes, this code could be ported to Chameleon. However, Manifest V2 will eventually be deprecated. I intend to migrate Chameleon to Manifest V3 but I'm not sure yet what that version of Chameleon will look like. |
@sereneblue: From my point of view, the Chameleon's core feature are UA, Timezone and Language spoofing. And few months ago, a Chrome V3 compatible extension appeared (Vytal), aiming to" timezone, locale, geolocation and user agent" (Chameleon doesn't spoof geolocation yet). For that, this extension uses the chrome‧debugger API, Vytal's dev claiming that using this API The sad thing is that FF doesn't support this chrome‧debugger API yet. But maybe, at least for compatibility reasons with Chrome, Mozilla will make this API available on FF in a not to long future?? Maybe extension's dev could ask Mozilla for that? |
@Kraxys Manifest v2 will likely stick around in Firefox until late 2023. I'll post relevant Manifest v3 updates in the wiki/pin an issue if there's some functionality that can't be ported over once I begin development. Firefox's debugging tools are a bit limited compared to what Chrome offers so I don't think Mozilla would make an API for it. |
can i test it for you v3 version |
Sure, thanks for offering. I will pin an issue for it when the beta version is ready. There doesn't seem to be a definite timeline for V3 now, so it'll be a while before I have a build available. |
I just found some references relative to mouse tracking.
As written here:
A researcher coded 2 years ago a Chrome extension named MouseFaker, available on Github (and seemingly abandonned now) in order to "prevent user profiling via mouse tracking by implementing the adversarial noise technique described" in a previous scientific article.
I failed to test it on any Chromium based browser because the actions required in Mouse Faker code were not compatible with manifest v3. Very plausibly this extension works in the background.
Could this kind of code be ported to Chameleon in order to offer some level of protection against this kind of tracking?
