- Noté 4 sur 5par Jezze, il y a 8 ansDoesn't make my canvas fingerprint less unique. amiunique.org still tells me that my similarity ratio is below 0.1% which means I have a very unique canvas fingerprint.
Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansIn the default settings the canvas fingerprint is changed on every page reload (you can test that on http://kkapsner.github.io/CanvasBlocker/test/test.html). Yes - this makes the fingerprint unique but since it is not constant you cannot be tracked.
If you want further information/discussion please open an issue on https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues where we can communicate nmuch easier.
PS: similar issue on github: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/154 - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13835690 de Firefox, il y a 8 ansThank you for this extension (and for keeping it opensource). Nowadays it's getting harder and harder to get a sense of real privacy. CanvasBlocker + AdGuard for Windows + Privacy Badger + HTTPS Everywhere + custom user.js helps me feel safer on a growing data collection frenzy.

mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansWhat do you mean with "does not work"? Please open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues where we can communicate better and therefore I can help better. - Noté 5 sur 5par ©®°˜, il y a 8 ans100% unique mean that is not really natural, canvas should not be unique but changed in order to be natural.
Unique canvas fingerprints will do much worse.
Is like you said you have a device that never exist.
To better understand how this work :
Google already have a full database with all kind of canvas signatures from all worldwide devices (iphone, android, computers, etc...), and if your canvas signature will not match on them database then you fail, it is a prove that your canvas is fake. If you try to spoof the signature then image pixel parameters will not match and again you fail so is almoust imposible to pass canvas.
On default settings may make it pass the google test.
For example google will not ask for SMS confirmation when a new gmail account is created because he trust the device you use.
Most of people must understand why unique signatures is bad practice and all softwares that spoof parameters will make traking services to detect the device much easyRéponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansPlease open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues where we can discuss this. AMOs rating comments are too limited to have a good conversation.
One small comment on unique signatures: they are not bad by itself as long as they are not persistend (i.e. the timestamp you connect to the server is very likely to be a unique signature but it's not persistent). This is the case in the CB default settings. - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 14039775 de Firefox, il y a 8 ans

- Noté 5 sur 5par Gummi, il y a 8 ansCan't seem to get version 0.4.4b working with Firefox ESR 52.7.2, there's just no icon visible anywhere on the UI.
Edit: My bad! I remember that this addon had an icon before but nowadays it hasn't. Works great!Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansThis Addon does not have an icon that is always visible. Only a fingerprint icon is displayed in the adress bar when some canvas data was faked for the web page. You can test at http://kkapsner.github.io/CanvasBlocker/test/test.html
If you still think that it's not working properly try version 0.4.4a and open a new issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues
EDIT: no problem. Glad that it works for you. - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13837360 de Firefox, il y a 8 ansKeep up the good work and thank you.

Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansYes, in the standard settings of CB the fingerprint that is produced with CB is quite unique but not persistent. That means the browser itself (and therefore you) cannot be indentified by it. (The same issue was reportet on github: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/154 - if you want further informations you can explore the issues there or post a new one.)
Also there are a lot of options which change the behaviour of CB (just mark the expert mode). If you want a less unique fingerprint you can use the "white" random number generator which will result in fingerprints similar to those of the Tor browser. - Noté 5 sur 5par Salsa, il y a 8 ans

since update from 17dec, blocks all web-pages :(Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansI currently face weird problems. Please open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with all your details (versions, settings, etc.) so that I can find the root cause.
EDIT: please try version 0.4.4 - Noté 2 sur 5par Fred Thompson, il y a 8 ansDescription claims there is a whitelist option but...there is no visible way to see, let alone edit, such a list.
Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansThe whitelisting was hidden by the last release. You can whitelist by setting the desired blocking mode for the URL specifically. If you want to whitelist an URL just give it an "allow everything". You can still whitelist a site from the notifications. I should definitely clarify the description...
Adding an URL specific block mode:
go to options, click on the triangle next to the blocking mode, enter the domain you want to whitelist, click on the plus, now you can set the blocking mode for the domain.
PS: you can still enter something in the white list by checking expert mode, open the export settings page and entering something in the whitelist field.
EDIT: Is the screenshot of the settings not explanatory enough?
EDIT2: It's easier for us to communicate on github. If you have any questions - just open an issue. Here the communication is slow and not relyable.
EDIT3: please try version 0.4.4 - there the whitelist is available again.
