- 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 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15570817, 3 years agoI found that it adding some JS in section. I'm definitely don't like this. Delete.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Gtbs, 6 years agoSome websites just don't work with this addon enabled. The notification is annoying and the reasons dev gives for keeping it that way are not justified.
Try CanvasBlocker instead, it's still being updated. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13438203, 6 years agoIt is absolutely ridiculous that you can't disable the notification when a page (MOST PAGES) try to read your fingerprint. Seriously. I emailed the developer about it and he said he didn't plan on changing anything more than a year ago. Completely bonkers.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Stephen Smith, 7 years agoWorks to change the canvas hash, but the settings page is missing so I can't enable auto changing hash or disable the popup every time a site reads the canvas ID.
Edit: Turns out the settings button is there but cut off since the contents of the settings panel is more than 280px high and the author of this extension set body height: 280px. Please set body {overflow: hidden scroll;} instead of overflow: hidden or set the body height to greater than 280px so the settings button won't get cut off. - Rated 2 out of 5by gianni, 7 years agoHello, could you please add an option to disable the popups that appear each time a site tries to track me?
Also please add a way to automatically "generate new noise". At each session, tab or every time the browser starts?
The addon prevents gmail.com from loading. It started working again when I disabled the addon.
Worst of all, I don't undestand why having a unique signature could enhance my privacy. My privacy could be enhanced if my signature was similar to million of others, not the other way around.... - Rated 2 out of 5by Spotter, 8 years agoCanvas Defender blocked enter gmail!! the issue is on Firefox only. http://funkyimg.com/i/2x6A1.jpg
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13265123, 8 years agogmail will not load on linux while this addon is enabled
- Rated 2 out of 5by Woualère, 8 years agoAs a preliminary side note, I find it "funny" that some users who seem to care about their privacy still use Google services, Gmail above all. Dudes, think again (if I may) and find yourself equivalent online services that do care about your privacy and respect it.
I may suggest the "De-google-ify Internet" campaign (https://degooglisons-internet.org/) among others.
Regarding Canvas Defender: after using it for a few weeks, I suddenly wondered about its license... After checking, it's apparently released under the BSD-2-Clause license (according to Mozilla) and its source code is "available" (by unpacking the extension xpi file I believe ?). But this is about all. Nowhere on https://multiloginapp.com/canvasdefender-browser-extension/ could I read anything relating to the license of this extension. I don't know what to think about this lack of clarity. So for the time being, I'll stop using this extension, until Gravity Development LLC clarifies that point (ideally, their FAQ should mention which license protects their extension and a license file should be enclosed in the xpi file).
