About Specter
Most websites silently load dozens of third-party scripts the moment you open them — behavioral trackers, ad networks, fingerprinting scripts, session replay tools recording your every click. Specter makes all of it visible. And now, stoppable.
**What Specter does:**
Specter intercepts every network request your browser makes and classifies it in real time using a locally-running ML model — trained on 25,290 real browsing requests, 96.2% accuracy. No data ever leaves your machine. No server. No proxy. No account required.
**Detect**
— Behavioral trackers, fingerprinting scripts, ad networks, analytics, session replay tools (Hotjar, FullStory, LogRocket)
— Confidence score and per-request explainability for every classification
— Privacy score (0–100) per site, updated live as you browse
— Force-directed network graph showing which third-party systems each site connects to
**Block (opt-in)**
— Adaptive blocking engine acting on classifier output — not a static list
— Strips tracking parameters (fbclid, gclid, utm_*, and 27 others) from URLs automatically
— Per-site allow-list so you can restore sites that break
**Defend**
— Fingerprint defense hooks that add calibrated noise to canvas, WebGL, AudioContext, and navigator APIs before page scripts run
— Session-scoped randomness — consistent within a session, different across sessions, so sites stay functional
**Analyze**
— Live request feed with category badges, confidence scores, and URL paths
— Session history with per-site breakdowns, sortable by date, tracker count, or privacy score
— Full JSON export or plain-text report for any session
— Optional VirusTotal domain reputation lookups (opt-in, your API key)
**Privacy by design:**
Specter does not collect, transmit, or store any data externally. Everything lives in your browser's local storage, deleted on your schedule. The ML model runs entirely on-device using ONNX Runtime.
