JShelter is a browser extension that mitigates potential threats from JavaScript.

A browser fingerprint is an example of a threat.

JShelter controls the APIs provided by the browser and restricts the data that they gather and send out to websites.

JShelter allows the user to choose if a certain action is allowed or forbidden.
