A recent update to an ad block filter list now allows the uBlock Origin extension to block most of the known sites that perform port scans of your local Windows computer: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ublock-origin-ad-blocker-now-blocks-port-scans-on-most-sites/
One idea I have is to have the browser ask for permission from the user, and just return null, undefined or some other way of representing the lack of data if the user doesn’t allow it.
