Shape Shifter: Prevent Online Surveillance & Tracking

Shape Shifter is a program that helps prevent surveillance and tracking by changing various aspects of how your computer appears on the internet. It obscures things like your operating system, browser version, screen resolution, language, and other identifiers.

What is Shape Shifter?

Shape Shifter is a program designed to protect your privacy online by making your computer look different every time you connect to the internet. It works by changing various details about your system that can be used to track and identify you.

Some of the things Shape Shifter can change include your operating system version, browser version, language settings, screen resolution, time zone, and other system identifiers. So if a website or network tried tracking you by fingerprinting your system's characteristics, they would get different results each time because of Shape Shifter's changes.

This makes it much more difficult for third parties to build profiles on you by linking together your browsing behavior, since your system technically looks like a different device every time. Shape Shifter even allows you to spoof things like mouse movements and scrolling behavior to further obscure your identity.

The program runs in the background and requires very little interaction once set up. It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. Shape Shifter is free, open source software focused on preserving privacy in an increasingly tracked internet landscape.
