by Firefox user 12806971, 9 years agoNew features are somewhat confusing for usual users like me. Should I enable transparency blocking?! ot it doesn't matter much?!
Also when updated some options are missing like the "Ignore the most frequent colors".
Also why not to set Random Number to Persistent by default, it will be changed on every browser startup, right?!

posted 9 years agoThe former versions faked the transparency always. But since this channel is treated differently by the browsers I think it is saver to not fake it. It does not affect the security.
Regarding the missing options: only these options are displayed that are useful with the other selected options. The mentioned "ignore the most frequent colors" is only displayed in expert mode and when faking the read API.
For the default random number generator I ask you to open an issue at github. This has to be discussed in more depth. I myself are not sure what the default should be.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Saint.77, 6 months agoOne of the essential plugins for everyone that care about anonymity when you surf on the web. If you stay on one of the 2 lowest settings you can increase your anonymity dramatically on the web without breaking functionality, so you can surf the web pretty much like everyone else without even noticing it while still staying hard to identify if you for example combine this with VPN. This alone will help but its one of several other key plugins you should install to shield yourself against tracking on the web.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Lilith D. Bracken, 6 months agoGreat privacy-focused extension that helps protect against fingerprinting. It blocks or fakes the data that websites use to track your device without your consent. I like that you can customize how strict it is for each site, so if something breaks, it’s easy to adjust. It runs quietly in the background and doesn’t slow things down. A must-have for anyone who cares about online privacy and wants more control over what sites can learn about their system.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Edgar Almeida, 7 months agoSeems to work, if you test it at browserleaks(dot)com / canvas with the plugin on, keeps giving new signatures at each refresh, if you turn the plugin off, the signature will remain the same
