- by Сергей Братуха, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5Хорошее и полезное расширение. В версии 0.5.5 устранили баг и теперь всё Ок.
- by Denis Kasak, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5Please consider adding an UI element for adding/removing the site from the whitelist without having to manually edit the string in the settings. This UI should appear in the popup menu when the extension icon is clicked. This extension would be much more usable with this.
UPDATE: This is great! As I mentioned on Github, I missed this because I'm not used to paying close attention to the icons in the address bar often since I'm using Tridactyl. I've updated my rating accordingly.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThis is already implemented. See my comment on https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/285 - by JanKKM, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5The addon works perfectly. I tested all extensions for blocking canvas and this one definitely does the best job.

Developer response
posted 2 years agoA version for Opera or Chrome is not planned. They do not provide the necessary APIs to provide the same quality of protection. - by Darsh229, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5
- by Firefox user 14300424, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5It gets the job done.
Didn't even know I need it until a web page started to abuse canvas to shove ads in your face - by Firefox user 14216657, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5

There we can communicate way better. - by Firefox user 13268901, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5What happened to the fingerprint icon up in the toolbar on android FF? It is now gone so how do I know if CB is functioning correctly?
Developer response
posted 2 years agoThe fingerprint icon should be present if you have notifications enabled and something was faked on the page.
You can check if CB is working on the test pages (e.g. https://canvasblocker.kkapsner.de/test/test.html - the hashes should change on reload).
Please open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues - there we can discuss better.
This issue is solved in 0.5.5 - by JxReach, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5

posted 2 years agoTell me what you dislike about the new version. Without this information I cannot improve CB. - by Firefox user 14242164, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5Great stuff. I think this should be a "featured extension" in the pivacy and security category.
- by Firefox user 14054127, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5Nice, but the toolbar icon changes color sometimes (red/green). What do the different colors mean?
Green = I'm save, red = I'm not protected? And what do I have to do for it to protect me again?Developer response
posted 2 years agoThe color change just indicate that something was faked. It's some sort of notification and nothing to worry about. - by Detergent, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5I tested this addon with the Panopticlick test from the EFF, and when I check the 'full results' it shows that the hash values are changed every time I have the addon enabled. So I guess it's basically ruining it for people who use these values to track you.

Go see for yourself.Developer response
posted 2 years agoIt's fine to have a unique fingerprint as long it changes every time. If you re-test your browser you will see different canvas and webGL hashes.
See the following issue for reference: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/154 - by Fleet Command, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5It is great, but it'd be much better if the Mozilla Add-ons link embedded in it was language-agnostic. Currently, it is to the German version of the site.
