Chameleon: browser fingerprinting protection for everybody

"for everybody as long as you're using Chrome or Chromium" (or perhaps another browser that accepts Chrome extensions)

Hi, Chameleon dev here. "Browser fingerprinting protection for everybody" is Chameleon's mission statement, not a description of present state (which is dev-only, not even beta software). Sorry for the confusion.

Can't you get fingerprinted solely by the use of chrome extensions? For example by using 5 specific extensions let's say Pocket, Google Dictionary, Adblock, xxx and Chameleon can't get fingerprinted by that? Does this extension offers some kind of protection against that?

General-purpose Chrome extension enumeration[1] should have been fixed some time ago, maybe here: http://crbug.com/45876

There are still issues with fingerprinting based on specific attributes of a particular extension (for example: [2]), however.
