- Windscribe VPN has launched a new anti-fingerprint function
- Available free and paid plans through its browser extension, it limits online tracking
- The new feature comes as Snoopers no longer depend on cookies alone
Windscribe has launched a new anti-fingerprint feature, making it so much more difficult for snoopers to track you online.
Available in Windscribe’s Chrome and Edge Browser extensions protects anti-finger printing against fingerprints of browser, a technique designed to build a profile about you and follow you over the Internet.
Better yet, the new feature is also included in Windscribe Free, one of the best free VPNs we’ve tested.
Anti-finger printing is the latest in an impressive range of windscribe features designed to strengthen your online privacy. The same extension already blocks ads and trackers, prevents WebrTC leaks and even allows you to be falsified to your location, time zone and language.
This latest privacy feature is a welcome addition as an increasing number of sites and advertisers move past cookies and turns to fingerprints of browser as a stealthier way of tracking – one that has so far been difficult for even the best VPN services to stop.
Fingerprints: The hidden ways Websites track you online
When you visit a site, it uses JavaScript APIs and HTML5 features to collect information about you. This includes the device and browser you use, screen resolution, time zone, battery level, browser plugins and more. On its own, these details may not seem significant. Set together they create a unique fingerprint that is used to track you.
Fingerprints not only provide persistent tracking across sites, but it also lets companies build detailed profiles for invasive targeted advertising. There is also the risk that fingerprint data combined with other identifying information may expose users to more serious threats, including identity theft and phishing attacks.
To clear your cookies, use “Incognito mode” or change your IP address will do nothing to stop fingerprint tracking. Not only is there any opt-out option, but most browsers and VPNs don’t even protect against this growing threat.
How Windscribe’s Anti-Fingerprints Works
Steps in windscribe’s anti-fingerprints that take all the individual properties that form your browser fingerprint-such as your Operating system, installed fonts and time zone – and spoof them so that an exact fingerprint can never be formed.
Anti-finger printing is even targeted at the most sneaky identifiers, such as canvas, webfl and sound fingerprints, helping you mix in online and combined with Windscribe’s other privacy features. All of this should allow you to browse privately and anonymously.
Windscribe’s latest feature couldn’t have come at a much better time after Google’s notice of February 2025 that it allows fingerprints, giving advertisers more of your personal information to play with than ever.
You don’t have to pay us (but it would be nice if you did) or connect to a VPN server. Just install our extension, log in with your account (which doesn’t even require an email to sign up), and then turn on anti-finger printing. Read more about it below. 4/4 https://t.co/f8yyddd4q2September 8, 2025
Windscribe subscribers with the latest version of the edge and Chrome extensions can already benefit from the extra protection provided by anti-finger printing. If you do not yet have a Windscribe subscription, you must know that both free and paid plans are available.
You can find anti-fingerprints by opening the windscribe extension of your chrome browser, clicking on the Hamburger menu in the upper left corner and choosing privacy. You can then switch the feature as needed with others, such as the possibility of fake your GPS location.
In his official message, the provider suggests pairing his browser extension with the VPN app for maximum protection. That’s because the “Desktop app protects your device and network traffic while the extension ensures that your browser doesn’t rank you out.”
