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 AnoniM0US3, 2 days 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)

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18936765, 13 days agoI don't know why I use this as every fingerprint test website tells me I'm unique...out of millions of users.....

- Rated 5 out of 5by tutzlima, 2 months agoI use this extension together with "AmIUnique" and, based on this, i have no complaints. There were few moments that my fingerprint was collected by AmIUnique, but the *most* were specific moments that I turned off the canvasblocker for testing.

- Rated 2 out of 5by blackSP, 3 months agoChecked before and after installing/activating this extension trying all profiles and see zero improvement in my identification score on several fingerprinting sites like coveryourtracks.eff.org and amiunique.org. Benefit of the doubt after reading dev's comment that it works anyway. Can't find any proof of that though.

posted 3 months agoYou need to check the details of the fingerprinting sites. Depending on your settings you can have a unique fingerprint - but this is not a bad thing if it changes: https://canvasblocker.kkapsner.de/faq/#uniqueFingerprint
