- Rated 1 out of 5by Nibinaear, 2 years agoCaused massive slow down when using ebay and other websites. Firefox identified it as causing slow down, task manager showed as 30% cpu usage for FF.

posted a year agoThere is little I can do about the problem with eBay. Whitelisting the DOMRect-API helps:

That's why it's whitelisted in the convenience preset. - Rated 5 out of 5by Anonymous, 2 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15183223, 2 years agoThere is a little problem with it... this extension is used by a relatively small community. When a site makes a fingerprint of your browser, the part of the fingerprint is the used extensions... If you can't hide your extension, then the existance of it with some other parameters are enough to track you. IMHO

posted a year agoI'm aware of that problem. But since it changes stuff it can always be detected.
But we try to spoof the "other parameters" so the tracking gets confused. - Rated 5 out of 5by Aminul, 2 years ago

posted a year agoFor slowdowns the DOMRect API is a hot candidate. I had to disable the notifications for it and it solved my slowdowns.
If this does not solve the problem please open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17151132, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by FoxEnjoyer, 2 years agoGreat extension, requires quite a bit of technical understanding, and the explanation for what different settings do could be better. Can have a significant performance impact with certain sites, but the extension, or Firefox usually notifies you when this is happening.
