Rated 5 out of 5
by PhoenixCausesOof, 3 years agoIndispensable extension for anyone who seeks for privacy. Bad reviews are generally old, and the extension has improved over time.
I suggest warning users that they have some APIs that are disabled (by the user in about:config). This can render CanvasBlocker “weaker”, although this is not fundamentally an issue with it.
Like if you have `dom.webaudio.enabled` disabled in about:config. This can make you more unique and thus “fingerprintable”.

posted 3 years agoI created https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/592 to track if this is even possible. These flags may not be readable by a webExtension.
