This plugin disables IndexedDB, with the goal of enhancing #privacy by making your #browser a little harder to uniquely fingerprint. Please be warned, websites that depend on IndexedDB might not work when this plugin is enabled. You can always click the icon to disable/enable the plugin. Green means IndexedDB is disabled, and red means it's available for websites to use. By default, this plugin will enable itself every time Firefox boots up. If you'd like the disabled status to persist across reboots, there's an option allowing that in the plugin preferences screen. That about covers it all. Hope you enjoy the plugin.

Brokering exploits is extremely harmful and dangerous, because it makes everyone less safe. We've seen it backfire for government entities and private entities alike (e.g. WannaCry/Petya spawned from NSA exploits leaked by Shadow Brokers).
