- Rated 5 out of 5by mibird, 7 years agoseemingly good help to browse with more privacy, complex work.

posted 7 years agoI currently face weird problems. Please open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with all your details (versions, settings, etc.) so that I can find the root cause.
EDIT: please try version 0.4.4 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13600531, 7 years agoThis is a fantastic add-on for users who are concerned about privacy while surfing the web because it efficiently detects and blocks/fakes canvas fingerprinting. I use CB on all my machines with Firefox (52-ESR and >57) and it supplements nicely other privacy-related add-ons. Based on my own experience, I can also confirm that it receives superb support by a very helpful and responsive developer. Clearly a must-have five-star addon!

Works fine if settings are correct. Fast response. Thanks!Developer response
posted 7 years agoI will look into this issue (progress can be seen here: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/161). The faking is working fine on https://browserleaks.com/canvas
EDIT: They are using a very big canvas (400 000 pixels) to do the fingerprinting. It works fine if you disable the "Maximal fake size" ("Maximale Vortäuschgröße") setting. I will adjust the recommendation accordingly. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12596004, 7 years agoVery configurable and useful tool if you don't want to be easily fingerprinted. In 1000 years it will be common knowledge to install in every Firefox. For now, we're the lucky ones that learned about it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12636919, 7 years agoSeems to cause issues with direct links to images. When this addon is activated only a white page is displayed instead when the domain is loaded for the first time. Deactivating the addon and reloading the link makes the image show up correctly. Afterwards the addon can be re-enabled again without making the image disappear again (only lasts for the session, restarting firefox breaks it again).
FF ESR 52.5.0
Edit:
The issue has been resolved, the author created a separate version. Great support!Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis issue was already reported to me. But I'm not able to reproduce it on my end. Please create a new issue on github with the informations to reproduce the problem (Firefox version, installed Addons, CB settings, URL to the not working image and if the problem is still present when a fresh profile is used): https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/new - Rated 5 out of 5by areafix, 7 years ago
