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

posted 5 days agoUnfortunately the workers do not offer an API to interact with them from a web extension. That's why I opened https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1636977.
So I do not see a maintainable way to handle this issue. (The only would be to disable workers...) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18605300, 3 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Andre Bell, 4 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.
