Critiques pour Canvas Defender
Canvas Defender par Multilogin
Avis de 田生
Noté 1 sur 5
par 田生, il y a 7 ansIt claimed to be a better solution than "Canvas fingerprint blocking tactics" in its artical. But indeed, it is very easy to be detected. By drawing a large gray (#666) block and read its content, browsers without this extension installed will report all pixels are gray. But with this extension, You would get a green / red / blue or some other colored pixels. And by testing the changing of colors, website may simply know a user is using this extension. As the result, this extension won't be better than a canvas fingerprint blocking tool as it claimed. While there are more users using tools to block a fingerprint (as a built-in of Tor browser), using this extension would be even a worse idea.
Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 7 ansThe article you mentioned was written almost 2.5 years ago. Since then new technologies emerged and we also wrote additional articles clarifying questions around canvas fingerprinting.
We also work on perspective technologies for protection from canvas fingerprinting, see a video presentation here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSTFf-xKmE0

By contrast, Firefox's own anti-fingerprinting protection (available since Firefox 120) does work when enabled, although it takes a browser restart to get a new signature on the test. - Noté 1 sur 5par Whetsit Tuya, il y a 2 ansit doesn't let you disable its tremendously abrasive notifications

- Noté 5 sur 5par mico, il y a 3 ansappreciate the notice about how most canvas fingerprint blockers make me easily trackable, made me change my mind from installing CanvasBlocker to downloading your extension, Canvas Defender!
note: change the link about the "IMPORTANT:" website to an archive of the webpage from web.archive.org because clicking the link in present doesn't yield the blog post. - Noté 2 sur 5par siriusacma, il y a 3 ansUnfortunately, there is a bug when uploading a photo to the site, the extension changes the color of the photo to green.
