Arvioitu 4/5
kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 15038450, kuusi vuotta sittenI changed my rating.
Originally I put 1 star because:
1. https://amiunique.org/ reports me as UNIQUE.
2. No support email, only github (I don't even know what it is and I do not want to create account only to ask for support).
Happy to change rating if I receive support (not github but email or phone) and problem is fixed.
----------------------------------
I changed to 4 stars because:
1. I was explained that it does not matter if I am unique as long as my profile changes each time which, apparently, it does.
2. The developer contacted me privately even though he's alone and he's not a company or a team. I appreciated that.
3. I put 4 stars instead of 5 because we have become used to better user interface layouts.
All in all I am happy and I recommend it.

lähetetty kuusi vuotta sittenThe same issue is discussed at https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/canvasblocker/reviews/1141570/ and https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/154
In short: it fine to have these sites to report a unique fingerprint as long as the fingerprint changes (which is the case in the default CB settings). You can open up the console (Ctrl + Shift + K) and have a look at the actual fingerprint. There you will see that the protected fingerprints change with each reload.
Regarding support: github is mainly a code managing service (you can look at the complete source code and history of CB there). But it also offers a requirement and bug tracking feature. As I am only one person I have no time to give individual email (or even phone) support. On github some helping angels can support me. Also it provides an overview of already asked questions and open issues so other people with the same issue can see that it is known and/or what the solution is.

- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Lilith D. Bracken, 12 tuntia sittenGreat privacy-focused extension that helps protect against fingerprinting. It blocks or fakes the data that websites use to track your device without your consent. I like that you can customize how strict it is for each site, so if something breaks, it’s easy to adjust. It runs quietly in the background and doesn’t slow things down. A must-have for anyone who cares about online privacy and wants more control over what sites can learn about their system.

- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Edgar Almeida, kuukausi sittenSeems to work, if you test it at browserleaks(dot)com / canvas with the plugin on, keeps giving new signatures at each refresh, if you turn the plugin off, the signature will remain the same

- Arvioitu 1/5kirjoittanut Kal, kuukausi sittenDoesn't seem to work. Visited the EFF page (coveryourtracks.eff.org) to check fingerprinting and no luck.
- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Zertrax, kuukausi sittenWorks very well. If you want to test this addon whether it works or not, just visit the page which is mentioned in the description. (for example: browserleaks website)
It's just a shame that I only recently discovered canvas fingerprinting, even though it's been around for so long. Keep your privacy up folks. - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut whatever, kaksi kuukautta sitten

- Arvioitu 1/5kirjoittanut CHANO, kolme kuukautta sittenI became suspicious when there is no tally count, so I went to coveryourtracks.eff. ran the fingerprinting scan and found the app was doing absolutely nothing at all but sitting in my browser collecting info.I will be removing it.And running a system malware scan.

- Arvioitu 1/5kirjoittanut NameOfDisplay, kolme kuukautta sittenI like the concept of the addon but this is basically useless until the developer explains literally anywhere how to add sites to the whitelist and the settings page doesn't absolutely suck.
Only really useful if you are the developer and understand all of the obtuse menu options. - Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Mikaela, neljä kuukautta sitten

- Arvioitu 3/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 19062474, neljä kuukautta sittenNo instructions on how to use it. Not intuitive to use. I have not a clue if it is doing anything because of this. I will leave it on incase it is working. It would be better as an app to work all the time my device is on rather than just inside my browser.

- Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 12814982, neljä kuukautta sittenAn 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. - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Rinshun, neljä kuukautta sitten
