- Rated 2 out of 5од blackSP, пред еден месецChecked before and after installing/activating this extension trying all profiles and see zero improvement in my identification score on several fingerprinting sites like coveryourtracks.eff.org and amiunique.org. Benefit of the doubt after reading dev's comment that it works anyway. Can't find any proof of that though.

posted пред еден месецYou need to check the details of the fingerprinting sites. Depending on your settings you can have a unique fingerprint - but this is not a bad thing if it changes: https://canvasblocker.kkapsner.de/faq/#uniqueFingerprint - Rated 2 out of 5од TELLALL4ALL, пред 6 месеци8-31-24: slows down and blocks some pages from loading-alerts from browser that CB is fucking up your connection

browser and or webpage issues warning that this extension is slowing down your browser do you want to stop it? - Rated 2 out of 5од Firefox user 14059926, пред 8 месециHas started to suddenly break a lot of websites, even while I have done no configuration changes in years. What's interesting that sites are broken even after disabling CanvasBlocker on a specific website (using the icon in the extension menu), only working once the entire extension is disabled. An example is a Grafana instance on the local network that I thought was a server-side issue, but was caused by CanvasBlocker (even while it was disabled for the domain).

posted пред 9 месециPlease open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with your details. This should not happen and I do not see a massive memory consumption.- Rated 2 out of 5од Craig, пред 5 години
- Rated 2 out of 5од Harry Haller, пред 5 годиниUnfortunately, after installing CanvasBlocker in FF 74.0 (64-Bit), Twitter doesn't work any more. Maybe, there would be a setting to prevent this, but sorry, this should be set by default, since Twitter is a very common network. Also other common sites like translate.google.com don't work any more.

posted пред 5 годиниBoth sites work fine for me with default settings. Please open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with all your details so we can sort this problem out.
There we can communication better and you can track the progress of your problem. - Rated 2 out of 5од Firefox user 13579870, пред 5 годиниleider kaum nutzbar! Der Hesteller bietet eine Whitelist an, aber die bringt absolut nichts, das Kästchen kann man Internet Seiten füllen wie man will, aber sie werden trotzdem Gnadenlos geblockt, es funktioniert dann absolut nichts, gerade die SUchmaschinenseite: swisscows.ch. Daher wieder deinstalliert, den mit so etwas kann man nicht arbeiten!

posted пред 5 годиниIch kann Ihr Problem mit swisscows.ch leider nicht reproduzieren. Bitte öffnen Sie ein Ticket bei https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues, damit wir das Problem eingrenzen und lösen können. Die Kommunikationsmöglichkeit hier ist einfach zu stark eingeschränkt.
In meinen Tests funktioniert auch die Whitelist mit dem Eintrag "swisscows.ch". Wobei in so einem Fall besser ein Seiten-spezifischer Blockiermodus eingestellt wird.
PS: Die Bezeichnung "Hersteller" ist etwas falsch. Ich bin eine Person, die dieses Addon in der Freizeit entwickelt. - Rated 2 out of 5од Fred Thompson, пред 7 годиниDescription claims there is a whitelist option but...there is no visible way to see, let alone edit, such a list.
Одговор на развивачот
posted пред 7 годиниThe whitelisting was hidden by the last release. You can whitelist by setting the desired blocking mode for the URL specifically. If you want to whitelist an URL just give it an "allow everything". You can still whitelist a site from the notifications. I should definitely clarify the description...
Adding an URL specific block mode:
go to options, click on the triangle next to the blocking mode, enter the domain you want to whitelist, click on the plus, now you can set the blocking mode for the domain.
PS: you can still enter something in the white list by checking expert mode, open the export settings page and entering something in the whitelist field.
EDIT: Is the screenshot of the settings not explanatory enough?
EDIT2: It's easier for us to communicate on github. If you have any questions - just open an issue. Here the communication is slow and not relyable.
EDIT3: please try version 0.4.4 - there the whitelist is available again. - Rated 2 out of 5од DarseZ, пред 7 годиниApologies, but this is an honest question: What would be the purpose of the add-on having access to 'all website data' such as banking/email login information?
Одговор на развивачот
posted пред 7 годиниYou can look at the code (either at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/ of you can download the xpi-file, change the extension to zip and look at the content). It does not store any private information or sends anything to a server.
UPDATE: I just realized I did not answer the question. The addon does not need access to login information (and does not use it). But there is no techical difference between the information the addon needs access to (the canvas and JS that are used for fingerprinting) and other information. I would gladly only take the permission to access the information that I only need - it's just not possible. - Rated 2 out of 5од Sampei Nihira, пред 7 години@ kkapsner

is positive for Canvas Defender and ScriptSafe for Chrome.
With CanvasBlocker the icon briefly appears and disappears immediately.

posted пред 7 годиниThanks for your finding. The faking is working fine - just the display of the icon is confused by this site. This will be fixed in the next release (see https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/149 for reference - btw it's much easier for us to communicate on github via issues than AMO)
Since this is a minor issue there will not be a release for this alone.
