    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!
