- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Avital, 6 år sidenI have only heard good things about CanvasBlocker! So i decided to try, and im sure its great, i just wish there would be a dummy guide for non tech savy people like me.
I dont know why it works on some sites, and not on others? On YouTube its working directly and i can see many fake readouts, but on many sites it doesnt look like its active? The icon is green and i cant see any notifications about fake readouts.Utviklerrespons

Some sites do not use fingerprinting. That's why the icon is green and no notifications show up. But keep in mind that not all notifications mean that a fingerprint is generated. Also legit use of the APIs can trigger the notification. It's just an indicator that CB did something. Utviklerrespons
postet 6 år sidenI always try to simplify the settings, but the subject is complicated. If you have specific settings that you think should be simpler you are welcome to open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with your suggestions.- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14546632, 6 år sidenFantastic add-on, and something that has been sorely needed for some time.
But I'd like the ability to whitelist certain sites for troublshooting. I didn't see that option in the settings.
Thanks, dev!
Update: Thanks for the info! I see the whitelist now.Utviklerrespons
postet 6 år sidenIf something was faked on a page a fingerprint icon appears in the address bar. By clicking on you see more information and you can also whitelist the page there. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Jerry Photo 69, 6 år sidenEdit: Now it's working again. I suspect the problem I had was caused by something else. Worked great up until July 10 2019. Then Gmail stopped loading, thumbs on Amazon, etc... After turning add ons on and off, this was the one causing problems.

postet 6 år sidenEDIT: great that it works again.
Nothing was done to CanvasBlocke on that date. Last update was on the 6th. But on my end gmail and amazon work fine. Please open an issue on https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with your details (used Browser version, CB version, CB settings, etc.). There we can communicate much better. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 15117421, 6 år siden

- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 15054524, 6 år sidenExcellent add-on, works as advertised. I would appreciate author's opinion on how this add-on interacts with Firefox's new built in fingerprinting protection as of version 67, and whether this add on provides additional protection.
Thanks for everything!!Utviklerrespons
postet 6 år sidenThe interaction with Firefox's new protection is discussed here: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/349
In short: the new feature from Mozilla is good but CB still offers additional value. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av BigDargon, 6 år siden
- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 15038450, 6 år sidenI 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.Utviklerrespons
postet 6 år sidenThe 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. - Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 15030259, 6 år sidenI'll gladly change my rating if this is shown to be user error but I disabled every other add-on in Firefox except CanvasBlocker, went to browserleaks.com/canvas and ran the test, and the Fingerprint "Signature" field always stays the same no matter what. If I uninstall CanvasBlocker, it's the EXACT same signature as when the extension is installed. I have used the default settings and I have also tried tweaking the settings. The signature NEVER changes.

postet 6 år sidenI do not think this is a user error. But with the given information I do not know what's the root cause of the problem. Please open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with detailed information (e.g. used browser version and operating system) so I can reproduce the problem. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 13044013, 6 år siden

postet 6 år sidenIf CB breaks a page you can whitelist the page (temporarily) so you do not have to deactivate it completely. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av active x, 6 år sidenThis is an excellent extension, and I recommend it to EVERYONE. Thank you, so much, kind developer <3
