StealthHound exposes and blocks hidden browser fingerprinting and silent tracking in real time, even without cookies or logins. Get instant risk signals (Low/Medium/High), live alerts, and automatic blocking of invasive techniques like canvas fingerprinting, API abuse, and hardware probing. Runs fully locally with zero data collection and no browser slowdown. See who’s tracking you, how they do it, and shut it down before profiling starts
We are finally getting out of beta after working on StealthHound for more than 3 months.
The main idea came from a simple gap we noticed: on our phones, we can clearly see which apps use which permissions but on the web, we have almost no visibility into what websites access or track in the background.
Websites silently use fingerprinting and browser APIs to identify devices without consent. StealthHound brings app-like permission visibility to the browser with real-time risk signals, live alerts, and automatic blocking of invasive tracking, running fully locally with zero data collection.
But now almost every website tracks users. At the very least, Google Analytics does. Are harmless tracking methods taken into account?
The chrome store page says you handle PII as part of your tracking! Can you explain a bit more on that?
Really like the idea of turning something invisible into something legible.
Curious how you think about the UX tradeoff here: once users start seeing concrete "risk signals", does it change behavior over time – or does it mostly serve as an inspection / debugging tool?
In other words, do you see StealthHound as something people keep running passively, or something they dip into when they feel "something’s off"?
Congrats on the launch – performance-first + local-only is a strong stance 👏
Interesting tool but I'm curious about the ethics here. LinkedIn specifically shows who viewed your profile as a feature to encourage networking - circumventing that feels a bit sketchy.
I get the use case for recruiters who don't want to tip off candidates, but doesn't this basically defeat the mutual transparency that makes LinkedIn valuable?
Also wondering about the technical side - how does this work without triggering LinkedIn's bot detection? They're pretty aggressive about third-party tools accessing their platform.
blocking canvas fingerprinting is usually a recipe for breaking complex websites. how do you ensure tools like Figma or WebGL games keep working without constant toggling?
Hey, Love the idea! Kind of like "little snitch" but for chrome! Canvas tracking. Whats that? I never heard of it. Are many websites tracking with canvas these days?
Congrats on the launch! StealthHound’s real‑time fingerprinting detection and fully local, zero‑data design feel like a must‑have privacy layer for modern browsing.
