chameleon not working

[ucnavryp]

Hello, chameleon(latest verison and old verisons) not working anymore, it is NOT BLOCKING ANYTHING

test: www.whoer.net www.ip-check.info

I am tested Google Chrome 42, Srware Iron 42, Google Chrome 28

PLEASE FIX

Chameleon in the master branch no longer attempts to masquerade as Tor Browser, in preparation for #1. Note that Chameleon never did anything to hide your real IP address.

I'll keep this issue open until I update the README with current status.

it is not blocking,ex: timezone, useragent, screen etc.etc..

That's what I meant when I wrote Chameleon no longer attempts to masquerade as Tor Browser.

In the future, Chameleon will do a combination of subtle randomization of properties (don't try to make Chrome look like Firefox, make more inconspicuous tweaks instead) and blocking known fingerprinters outright.

The README is out-of-date at this point, but the WARNING part very much applies still.

randomization not working :/ http://s22.postimg.org/mu3cun874/Untitled.jpg

Right, it's not implemented yet.

Well, then, unless you randomise those properties on a web request basis, youll be very unique for n minutes.

[ghostwords]

If you generate fifteen different fingerprints over fifteen browsing instances, you should be more private, right? You are making it harder for persistent tracking to occur. Tracking within a browsing instance (maybe a browser session, maybe a page load) seems less problematic than tracking over longer periods of time, across multiple devices (cross-device tracking protection needs more research).

[0xBRM]

If you're unique, you will still be trackable over a single browsing instance/session, which can still reveal quite a lot of information about your browsing habits. Hence what I said about generating fingerprints on a per tab basis, but common ones nonetheless. You can blend in, and randomise it simultaneously.

Hi, no news after several months, chameleon still doesn't work on last chrome version. Any eta about fix? Thanks

[ghostwords]

No ETA, sorry. There is much to do here yet, and I am interested in continuing; it's a matter of finding the time. Thanks for your interest!

no new release at all in 2016, dead project sadly.

Hi @chrcoluk, please see https://github.com/ghostwords/chameleon/issues/26.

If official google chrome is used, the User Agent simply cannot be hidden from fingerprinting.
