Works fine, I get a different fingerprint ID each time I load a page :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Matthias, 2 years agoI'm not sure about this. I did not really test the behavior, but I can confirm that enabling this plugin does block alot of functions on twitch. I'm not sure how a WebGL Fingerprint Defender could do this really. But I'm no expert. So I guess it does what it should, but twitch is more or less useless.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Jonma, 2 years agohi, the anonymity test website coveryourtracks.eff.org keeps on reporting a "Hash of WebGL fingerprint" no matter if i'm using this or not. Could you check please. If you could let me know what's going on there :3
Also this extension conflicts with some functions on twitch. - Rated 4 out of 5by Craig, 2 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16834666, 4 years agoGoogle Maps goes black when a WebGL blocker is running.
Go to about:config and change
webgl.enable-debug-renderer-info
to false
to make Google maps work again. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14738129, 4 years agoI wish there was an option to use a static spoofed fingerprint for some websites. iCloud seems to have issues with it spoofing all the time, for example.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16477347, 4 years agoTor works far better for WebGL fingerprinting blocking, but is still compatible with webGL... This extension isn't compatible with Google maps, it's not open source and buggy.
You can disable WebGL fingerprinting WITHOUT BUGS ON GOOGLE MAPS and it works BETTER by applying some settings in about:config :
WebGL 1 anti fingerprint:
webgl.min_capability_mode : True
Then you also want to prevent WebGL 2 fingerprinting:
webgl.enable-webgl2 : false
Finally there's another 3 settings that are disabled on Tor :
webgl.enable-surface-texture : false
webgl.disable-fail-if-major-performance-caveat : True
And the most important : webgl.enable-debug-renderer-info : false
If you DONT want to disable webgl, you can :
1) Install CanvasBlocker and set it to maximum protection
2) Set webgl.enable-debug-renderer-info to false.
Explanation: CanvasBlocker will spoof any webGL fingerprinting (you can try here : https://webbrowsertools.com/webgl-fingerprint/ ID should switch when you restart your browser and red solid box method should be "true", it's normal).
And the 2nd setting prevents websites to know exactly whats your GPU name and driver. - Rated 1 out of 5by AliBorsan, 4 years agoNot working , always Hash of WebGL fingerprint detected and not randomized.
- Rated 3 out of 5by MMOTHERS, 4 years agoBreaks Google Maps, would be great to have options to exclude some sites

- Rated 3 out of 5by Tx, 5 years agoWorks well but i think that a number is not a common gpu name.
MISSING WHITELIST SITE. - Rated 1 out of 5by Tyler Szabo, 5 years agoNot particularly useful if I need to disable it in order to use a site that I'm already logged into. If I use Google Maps there's no search bar, but I'm already logged in to Google on my Google container so there's no point in hiding from fingerprinting seeing as they can track me with my active session. There's no way to disable it on a per-site basis or temporarily through a toolbar UI but rather has to be disabled in the Add-On config by scrolling to it, selecting disable from the ellipsis menu.
I'd love to rate it 5-stars except that I'm having to keep it off so it's not of much use to me. - Rated 2 out of 5by Powerman, 5 years agoDesktop notification is disturbing. Better place is in the toolbar section. Thanks

- Rated 4 out of 5by NoXPhasma, 5 years agoAddon works good but breaks some sites. Would be great if it's possible to add blacklists, so it won't be used on specific sites.
