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
Proximity Lock System
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.

We’d love your feedback and thoughts. Thanks for supporting an indie launch 🙌
@akarshjha03 Hi Akarsh, love this idea and congrats on the launch. How does this impact memory? I already have +fan_noise as a constant soundtrack from multiple sub processes.

@zolani_matebese Great question, and thank you!
StealthHound doesn’t run continuous background analysis, it operates on on-demand instrumentation triggered by specific APIs commonly used in fingerprinting. This keeps memory stable and avoids persistent CPU usage, so it won’t contribute to constant fan activity.
we’re actively profiling to keep fan noise and background load as close to zero as possible. Performance-first was a non-negotiable for us.
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.

@zeiki_yu Appreciate it! 💙
Real-time fingerprinting detection running fully on-device was a core design decision no servers, no tracking, no compromises. Glad that philosophy resonated with you.
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?
Proximity Lock System
@samet_sezer Fair concern. We avoid blanket canvas blocking since it breaks real apps. Instead, StealthHound detects fingerprinting-style readbacks while allowing normal rendering, with per-site controls so tools like WebGL games and Figma keep working.
Only for desktop?
Proximity Lock System
@heyromix Yes for now, but mobile is definitely on our radar. Feedback like this helps shape where we go next 🙌

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?
Proximity Lock System
@conduit_design Hey, thanks that’s a great comparison!
Canvas tracking is a lesser-known fingerprinting method where sites render invisible graphics via the HTML5 canvas and extract subtle device-specific signals from it. It’s not universal, but it’s definitely used by analytics and anti-fraud tooling on many popular sites today, often without users realizing it.
Congrats man! All the best here

@german_merlo1 Thanks, means a lot! Appreciate you checking it out 🙌
