Abstract

TrackGuard is a browser extension tool engineered to detect, mitigate, and report browser fingerprinting activities in real-time. It continuously monitors web interactions for unique system attribute requests—such as device specifications, browser settings, and behavior data—that indicate tracking attempts. TrackGuard generates detailed reports, providing insights into overall tracking activity and specific website interactions, allowing users to understand where and how they’re being monitored. Additionally, it attempts to prevent common vulnerabilities by blocking known fingerprinting scripts and alerting users to suspicious tracking behaviors. Designed for cybersecurity professionals and privacy-conscious users, TrackGuard offers a streamlined interface, robust analytics, and actionable insights to enhance digital privacy and protect against advanced tracking techniques.
