Enhance Your Privacy with Canvas Blocker
Canvas Blocker - Fingerprint Protect is a Firefox extension designed to enhance user privacy by preventing the HTML canvas element from being exploited for fingerprinting. It achieves this by adding noise to the data generated by the canvas element, rendering it ineffective for tracking purposes. The extension operates seamlessly in three modes: random noise, random noise per session, and fixed noise, catering to different privacy needs. Its lightweight design ensures minimal impact on performance while providing robust protection against tracking scripts.
The extension includes features that allow users to block fingerprinting on specific hostnames, receive notifications when canvas fingerprinting is detected, and disable notifications for certain sites. Notably, it supports cross-origin and sandboxed iframes, making it versatile for various web environments. While it modifies methods to prevent unique identification, it does not entirely block the canvas element, ensuring functionality remains intact while enhancing privacy.
