Very interesting, thanks!

For the fingerprinting part, can you explain the difference with the JShelter browser extension (https://jshelter.org/)?

I checked as you did in your demo video with https://demo.fingerprint.com/playground (using JShelter in Firefox). It produces a fingerprint detector report, like so :

{

    "fpd_evaluation_statistics": [
        {
            "title": "Navigator.prototype.plugins",
            "type": "resource",
            "resource": "get",
            "group": "BrowserProperties",
            "weight": 0,
            "accesses": 0
        },
        {
            "title": "MediaDevices.prototype.enumerateDevices",
            "type": "resource",
            "resource": "call",
            "group": "BrowserProperties",
            "weight": 1,
            "accesses": 2
        },
        [...]

}

However, it appears there is no way to display what was actually produced by the browser.

Was this the reason you had to build your own browser? Or is it possible to extend JShelter to do the same?

Ooh nice, I haven’t seen this project! I actually tried attempting this as an extension at first but wasn’t able to override page window functions. I’m curious to know how they accomplished this. (edit: I see that I missed the chrome.scripting API facepalm)

Thank you for sharing :)

FWIW I still think a custom browser approach has some benefits (stealth and executing in out of process iframes. could be wrong on the second part, haven’t actually tested!)
