Masking Agent Description

Web sites are able to track you, profile you, and target you for commercial or other purposes, based on your IP address, your browser software, and your computer platform. Details of your platform are revealed through a HTTP request header (User-Agent) and through a javascript object (navigator), making it possible to exploit platform specific weaknesses. Masking Agent is a Firefox extension that hides those platform details, by substituting a short (configurable) replacement text. The browser name and version information remains intact.Because this is a restartless add-on, you can disable and re-enable Masking Agent quickly and easily, when you need to reveal your platform information for a short time.The text that is used to replace the platform details can be modified by the user.For more details please visit http://basa.nl/apps/maskingagent/.No restart required!Product's homepage
