by zingmars, 6 years agoWhile the idea is nice theoretically, practically this addon isn't all that useful. Apps using canvas for legitimate reasons (i.e. WhatsApp web file upload, draw.io file export) will often have coloured tint (or sometimes it will just break the app completely) on them, which not only affects the web experience, but will also make you trackable. The addon does have a white-list function, but I haven't been able to get it to work. There's also an annoying notification that pops up on every webpage that tries to read your canvas hash and you can't actually disable it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Hex (🐦: @hex), a year agoThis used to be an essential part of my toolkit for privacy on the web, but now generating new canvas noise doesn't change the signature on the test at BrowserLeaks, so I guess it no longer works.

By contrast, Firefox's own anti-fingerprinting protection (available since Firefox 120) does work when enabled, although it takes a browser restart to get a new signature on the test. - Rated 1 out of 5by Whetsit Tuya, a year agoit doesn't let you disable its tremendously abrasive notifications

- Rated 5 out of 5by mico, 2 years agoappreciate the notice about how most canvas fingerprint blockers make me easily trackable, made me change my mind from installing CanvasBlocker to downloading your extension, Canvas Defender!
note: change the link about the "IMPORTANT:" website to an archive of the webpage from web.archive.org because clicking the link in present doesn't yield the blog post. - Rated 2 out of 5by siriusacma, 2 years agoUnfortunately, there is a bug when uploading a photo to the site, the extension changes the color of the photo to green.

- Rated 1 out of 5by yenaskithegar, 4 years agoWhen i found out that fsf.com tries to fingerprint me, i know there is something going on in this add on. Take too much memory, target overreach, bunch of ui for psychological effect
