Vigil is a Chromium browser extension — Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS can't install it. Open WHOX in your mobile browser to use the same probes from any device.
EIGHT LAYERS OF PROTECTION
Real privacy tools that actually work. No configuration required — install and go.
CNAME UNMASKING
First-party trackers hide behind CNAME aliases on the site's own domain to slip past blocklists. Vigil resolves the real target and blocks the disguised request.

COSMETIC FILTERING
Blocking a request can leave an empty box behind. The cosmetic engine hides the ad-shaped containers, sticky bars and placeholders so pages look clean.

AutoPer-Site
FINGERPRINT PROTECTION
Canvas, WebGL and Audio are actively spoofed with deterministic per-domain noise. Each site sees a different but internally consistent browser — impossible to correlate across sites.

24 SURFACES WE ANALYZE
These are the fingerprinting vectors your Trust Score scans. Vigil actively spoofs three of them — Canvas, WebGL and Audio — and measures the rest so you can see exactly how identifiable you are.
