by Fridah, 3 years agoUse it since years! Its GREAT if you want to set the User Agent globaly, which is required if you are using Multi Acc. Containers/Temporary Containers, because a fresh Container has the true User Agent no matter which User Agent Managing Addon I tried. This Addon also is one of the fews that has ALL APIs except the Font Fake Readout, slimming your JS Fingerprinting Addons down. Another major for me is that you can devicde if you want a fixed readout fake or like the DOM In and out be faked, because many addons do not let the user decide. Overall I hope it will be a long supported app, and would consider to donate without hesitation (Dev, please add some "civilian" payment method, because I will not send you BTCs :D sorry). And thank you again Dev, your work really is appreciated and I wished I could have helped you with the translation, but we speak the same native language so you have already done it ;o)

- Rated 1 out of 5by jenustar5, 24 days agothe cloudflare issue reappeared and more. now only works when setting exception in general --> block mode --> challenges.cloudflare.com = block only blacklist
or when disable the addon in all addons menu.
even when disable the addon for the site by addon icon does not work. only rule above.
can this be fixed?? or is the addon become useless if cf updates like this it can then track you?
sorry for review I try github but it does not show the post when log of so shadow ban?? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18446095, a month ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14059926, a month agoHas started to suddenly break a lot of websites, even while I have done no configuration changes in years. What's interesting that sites are broken even after disabling CanvasBlocker on a specific website (using the icon in the extension menu), only working once the entire extension is disabled. An example is a Grafana instance on the local network that I thought was a server-side issue, but was caused by CanvasBlocker (even while it was disabled for the domain).

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18415085, a month agoI love this extension, but it is breaking Linkedin right now. There is an issue open on github already, are there plans to fix this issue in the upcoming weeks?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nero, 2 months agoFunktioniert einwandfrei. Ist dass Add-On sinnvoll, wenn man privacy.resistFingerprint aktiv hat (about:config) ?

Developer response
posted 2 months agoNavigator protection is always tricky and you cannot hide it completely. But if I choose a different OS it does not get caught by this page. Maybe there is something additional that causes that in your setup. Developer response
posted 2 months agoPlease open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with your details. This should not happen and I do not see a massive memory consumption.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18252931, 3 months ago

posted 3 months agoPlease revert to version 1.9 - version 1.10.1 is in the works.
See https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/699 and https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/700 for the progress of the solution.- Rated 5 out of 5by Tiger, 3 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by emotwink, 4 months agoThis particular extension draws too much power from my laptop. Otherwise it is working incredibly well.

- Rated 4 out of 5by snadge, 5 months agonot perfect, but it helps, especially if it is used with other addons, it still doesn't randomize your fingerprint like BRAVE does, only BRAVE gets 3 yes's on EFF's 'cover your tracks' (Ads, Trackers, Fingerprints), or, this addon, with Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger, Local CDN and NoScript (is what I use on Librewolf) gets you all 3 yes's on EFF (1 in 900, so 'common as muck' fingerprint, and unable to track & trace through fingerprinting)
