av surrealisme, för 5 år sedanHello, interested in the check mark "Share persistent randomness between domains", if you remove it, I realized that each domain will have different data, if you turn it on, a warning that there will be a leak, the question arose, what can domain x request from domain y? and what result will it get if this checkbox is disabled and the request is received

To be short: this flag makes you 100% unique and trackable across all domains. The use case for this was not to prevent fingerprinting but to disguise. Not quite the main focus of CanvasBlocker but it seemed useful for some folks.
In general I highly discourage you to from using this flag unless you clearly understand it and it suits your need. If you use it you have to reset your persistent random number generator quite frequently.
PS: domain x cannot request any additional data from domain y but the faking will add the same "randomness" to the API readouts and this information can be used to be tracked.
