Frequently Asked Questions

PII Fortress is a Chrome extension (Manifest V3) that blocks trackers, auto-rejects cookie consent banners, strips tracking parameters from links, and shields your browser fingerprint. It runs entirely in your browser with zero data collection.

No. PII Fortress does not require an account, email address, or any personal information. Your license key is derived from your wallet address (crypto) or emailed after a Stripe purchase.

Chrome, Brave, Edge, and any Chromium-based browser on desktop. Limited support is available on iOS via Microsoft Edge, and full support on Android via Chrome, Edge, or Brave.

Yes. It complements tools like uBlock Origin Lite. PII Fortress shares the same tracker filter lists but adds fingerprint shielding, cookie consent management, tracking link cleaning, scam scanning, and more.

None. Zero telemetry, zero analytics, zero data leaves your device. We cannot see your browsing history, blocked trackers, or any other activity. Everything runs locally.

PII Fortress randomizes Canvas, WebGL, and AudioContext API outputs so your browser generates a different fingerprint each session. This prevents cross-site tracking that survives cookie clearing and incognito mode.

The tracker blocking filter lists are open source (EasyList, EasyPrivacy). The extension code itself is proprietary but uses no obfuscation — you can inspect the source in your browser's extension directory.

Yes. We accept USDC and USDT on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Solana, plus RLUSD on the XRP Ledger. Connect MetaMask, Phantom, or Xaman wallet on the checkout page.

When you connect your wallet on pii-fortress.com, we query the blockchain directly for transfers from your address to our receiving wallet. If a matching payment is found, your subscription is verified on-chain — no backend server involved.

For crypto payments: no. Your wallet address and transaction are on the public blockchain — we don't store anything additional. For Stripe card payments: Stripe handles all payment processing. We never see or store your card details.

MetaMask: USDC, USDT, RLUSD on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon. Phantom: USDC, USDT on Solana. Xaman: RLUSD on XRP Ledger. All tokens are stablecoins pegged to USD.

Guard is free forever with full baseline protection. Sentinel ($5.99/mo or $59.69/yr) adds fingerprint shielding, link cleaning, and more. Vault ($9.99/mo or $99.99/yr) adds breach monitoring, DNS leak detection, and priority support. Lifetime options are also available.

Card payments (Stripe) include a 7-day refund window from your initial purchase. Crypto payments are non-refundable due to the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions. Contact support@pii-fortress.com for card refund requests.

For crypto payments, connect your wallet on any page of pii-fortress.com — your key is derived automatically from your wallet address. For Stripe payments, check your email after purchase. Enter the key in the extension popup to activate your tier.

Yes. Your license key works on any Chromium browser where PII Fortress is installed. For crypto-paid licenses, connect the same wallet to restore your subscription on any device.

Manifest V3 is Chrome's latest extension platform. PII Fortress is built natively on MV3 using Declarative Net Request (DNR) rules, which means it meets Chrome's latest security and performance standards.

No. DNR rules are processed by the browser engine itself, not by JavaScript. This makes tracker blocking as fast as the browser allows. Fingerprint shielding and cookie consent run only when needed.
