Dephormation is not a solution.

It is a fig leaf for your privacy. Do not rely on Dephormation to protect the privacy, security & integrity of your communications.

If your current ISP is a Phorm partner, you need to find a new trustworthy ISP.

What Dephormation Does...

The Dephormation Add On can be used to detect and suppress Phorm. On startup, and after each page load, Dephormation does the following things;

  • Maintains your Phorm opt out cookies for the domains webwise.net, oix.net, gezinti.com, moodoo.com.cn, fengfengtie.com.cn
  • Randomizes the OIX UID cookies for the domains webwise.net, oix.net, gezinti.com, moodoo.com.cn, fengfengtie.com.cn to thwart tracking.
  • Blocks requests to around 100 blacklisted Phorm OIX domains
  • Optionally; warns you if a page or links within it include references to a Phorm OIX domain, a Phorm domain, an operator portal that may be hosted by Phorm, or a domain owned by OCSLab (Phorm Moscow).
  • Optionally; writes Flash LSO files for these domains oix.net, gezinti.com, moodoo.com.cn, fengfengtie.com.cn, adobur.com, and imrk.net which maintain your opt out, without dependencies on Adobe Flash
  • Optionally; creates a log file of the page requests, redirects, cookies, and browser state changes for technical analysis use.
  • Optionally, 'spikes' image requests which have been hijacked and redirected by blacklisted Phorm OIX domains, substituting a tell-tale image instead
  • Every time a cookie is set or a redirect occurs, the domain is checked against a blacklist of Phorm domains. A notification message is displayed when a Phorm domain attempts to set a cookie, or hijack a web request.

About Dephormation 

The Dephormation Add On can be used to detect and suppress Phorm.

It ensures that your decision to permanently 'opt out' of Phorm profiling cannot be undone in your web browser.

Dephormation reinstates your opt out preference cookie with every page load, and randomises your OIX UID cookie to prevent tracking. Even if you delete all your cookies, after the next web page is loaded, your opt out cookies are immediately restored.

Dephormation also detects Phorm tracking cookies being set, and identifies web requests that have been hijacked by Phorm.

Notifications and alerts will be displayed when suspicious events occur. The status bar will 'latch' red when Phorm is detected. Clicking on the icon displays a Summary Report, showing all detected events in the current session. (See pictures of Dephormation in action in the Gallery).

Note that Dephormation cannot protect other popular desktop applications like iTunes, Google Earth, other browsers such as Chrome and Internet Explorer, instant messaging applications, remote desktop tools, Microsoft Office, Open Office, RSS/ATOM feed readers, or external images embedded in HTML email.

If you're considering installing the Dephormation Add On, you might also like to consider the Secret Agent Add On which is also available from this site. Secret Agent randomises your browser's 'User Agent' string with every web request.

Dephormation is translated into English/Portugese/Romanian/Turkish, and is tested on SeaMonkey 2.35 on Windows 8, Pale Moon 25.7 on Windows 8, Firefox 1.5 to 42.0 on Windows XP/7/8,  IceWeasel 3.0 to 10 on Debian Linux, Firefox 3.6 on Fedora. Will install into SeaMonkey 2.x , Pale Moon 1.5 - 26.x, Firefox 1.5 - 42.x on any platform. . Also works under Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Linux, Mac, and all other popular operating systems supported by SeaMonkey, Pale Moon, Ice Weasel, and Firefox. Dephormation is compatible with other popular add ons like AdBlock Plus, NoScript, RequestPolicy, Self-Destructing Cookies, HTTPS Everywhere, Better Privacy, TrackMeNot, RefControl. And Secret Agent.

Dephormation cannot prevent Phorm or your ISP illegally intercepting your communications. The only effective long term solution is moving your business to a Phorm free ISP you can trust, or using a VPN (virtual private network) connection to encrypt your communications.
