Description
Randomizes the browser fingerprints trackers use to follow you across sites, and blocks tracker domains. A VPN masks your location. An ad blocker filters what loads. A private browser forgets your history. None of them touch the profile that already exists on you. dcoy works on that profile directly: it blocks trackers, randomizes the fingerprint they follow you with, and feeds them contradictory signals, then scores the result so you can check it. What this extension does today: Tracker and ad blocking at the request level, using a static blocklist of about 30,000 rules sourced from EasyPrivacy. Every block is counted and reported to your dashboard so you can audit it. Browser fingerprint noise. dcoy randomizes the canvas, WebGL, and audio fingerprints that trackers use to follow you from site to site, and rewrites the User-Agent and client-hint headers so they present one consistent device profile (currently Windows / Chrome 124 / Intel UHD 620; per-session rotation is in development). On EFF Cover Your Tracks, the canvas, WebGL, and audio surfaces all read as randomized, which defeats cross-site fingerprint tracking on the surfaces that carry it. To be clear about what this does and does not do: it does not make your browser non-unique in a single snapshot. It changes the values trackers see over time so they cannot reliably link your sessions. We publish what is verified and what is not. Pause control. "Pause everywhere" halts fingerprint noise globally; "Pause this site" exempts a single origin without disabling protection elsewhere. Use this when a site's login or fraud-detection needs to see your real device. What the extension reports. To compute your score, the extension sends aggregate counts of trackers blocked and fingerprints scrambled, plus the top sites where blocks happened, to your dcoy account. It does not record the pages you read, the content of any page, or anything you type, and it never sells your data. The full platform: The extension is the desktop end of dcoy, an anti-surveillance platform that also includes: An assisted data broker opt-out tool. dcoy prepares and tracks CCPA and GDPR opt-out requests for major people-search and broker sites and routes them to you; you file them. It is an included tool, not an automated service, and it is not part of your score, because completion depends on you sending the requests. Mobile tracker blocking on Android, via on-device DNS filtering (available on the Play Store). iOS is in development. Behavioral noise injection. A cloud agent generates contradictory interest signals against a weekly target to degrade the accuracy of your ad profile over time. This is the layer no commodity privacy tool ships. The Profile Blur Score: a 0 to 100 index of how much of your surveillance profile dcoy is actively corrupting, built only from the layers that run automatically and can be verified with free public tools (EFF Cover Your Tracks, Optery, your device's ad settings). The assisted broker tool and in-design layers are not scored. A free account links your extension activity to your dashboard. Paid tiers (Personal and Ghost) unlock the cloud-side components. What dcoy is not: dcoy is not a VPN. It does not encrypt your connection or mask your IP address. dcoy does not claim to eliminate surveillance or make you anonymous. It corrupts the commercial data collected about you, and shows you the work. Sign up at https://dcoy.io.
