Review by Teagan
Rated 3 out of 5
by Teagan, 2 years agoI would like to give this Add-On more then 2 1/2 stars (which is what I selected but it's showing 3 starts). In general, it does seem to work with some flaws. For me, my biggest issue, or what annoys me about all add-ons, is that they will always slow down your browser and CanvasBlocker is no exception to this. It does slow down my browser quite a bit, but I suppose that can vary from user to user depending on what you've selected as its settings. So don't be surprised if it does slow down your browser.
If you are using the Privacy Badger Add-On, expect the Add-On's to conflict with each other a lot, or from time to time. Depending on the type of internet user you are (or Netizen); if you are normally intimidated by what seems to be a complicated Add-On with lots of options to select, or you don't know what DOMRect, webGL, or APIs means, don't let that discourage, or prevent you from using it. Take your time to read how to use this extension (Add-On) and you should be good.

I notice much better performance when I disable notifications for DOMRect: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/discussions/638#discussioncomment-5313863

- Rated 4 out of 5by Andre Bell, 3 months agoDamages Linkedin, as other comments here and on github have noted. Enable 'Advanced' settings and add Linkedin.com to the whitelist and all is well again. Do NOT alter any other settings unless you want your browser vulnerable to the noted exploit mentioned in the FAQ.

- Rated 1 out of 5by jenustar5, 6 months 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, 6 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14059926, 6 months 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).
