Rated 5 out of 5
by Avital, 6 years agoI have only heard good things about CanvasBlocker! So i decided to try, and im sure its great, i just wish there would be a dummy guide for non tech savy people like me.
I dont know why it works on some sites, and not on others? On YouTube its working directly and i can see many fake readouts, but on many sites it doesnt look like its active? The icon is green and i cant see any notifications about fake readouts.

Some sites do not use fingerprinting. That's why the icon is green and no notifications show up. But keep in mind that not all notifications mean that a fingerprint is generated. Also legit use of the APIs can trigger the notification. It's just an indicator that CB did something.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12814982, 11 days agoAn sich ein wirklich klasse AddOn, was Webseiten definitiv zu schaffen macht.
Leider bremmst es den Browser je nach Seite extrem aus.
Gerade Karten-Webseiten wie z.B. Google Maps sind teilweise unbenutzbar, wenn der CanvasBlocker zuschlägt.
Der Blocker von Firefox selbst, ist hier etwas harmloser, dafür aber auch von der Block-Qualität schlechter. - Rated 5 out of 5by Rinshun, 14 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by B00T987, a month agoI love this extension! However its a bit hard to use, because you have to uninstall, and reinstall the extension to open up the easy to use settings picker. If you change your settings as often as I do, if not then this is an easy 5/5 extension.

- Rated 4 out of 5by AnoniM0US3, 2 months agothe addon prevents "youtube comment search" addon from working
is there a way to fix this, without having to turn canvasblocker off each time?
or even better: can i block or unblock each element separately, until i find the culprit? (the way "NoScript" addon visualized this is very beginner userfriendly)
thank you - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18369793, 2 months ago
