Defiant Browser Extension

Stay protected from Ads, Cookies, JavaScript and other Tracking Techniques

The Defiant Browser Extension tries to put the control over website behaviours back into the hands of users, and not developers.

Its concept works with Trust Levels, whereas the defaulted Trust Level is Zero and doesn't allow anything malicious to happen. Incrementing the Trust Level to a higher one will enable more risky features to make the Website or Web App work.

User Interface
