by Fraaggle, 4 sni iluNice addon, but why it needs reading and changing privacy settings? This is new after the last update. Why you need that now?

The access to the privacy setting is needed to display the notice for privacy.resistFingerprinting. So it's not that important but unfortunately I cannot make it optional.
CB only reads that and does not write any privacy settings: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/search?q=%22browser.privacy%22&unscoped_q=%22browser.privacy%22

- Rated 4 out of 5by Leon Edwards, 6 ġranet iluGood for anti fingerprint - but you need to rotate the fingerprint each * seconds and add Cloudflare captcha.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14059926, 8 ġranet iluHas 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).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nero, xahar iluFunktioniert einwandfrei. Ist dass Add-On sinnvoll, wenn man privacy.resistFingerprint aktiv hat (about:config) ?

posted xahar iluJa, es bietet weitere Funktionalitäten.

Developer response
posted xahar iluNavigator protection is always tricky and you cannot hide it completely. But if I choose a different OS it does not get caught by this page. Maybe there is something additional that causes that in your setup. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18252931, 2 xhur ilu

posted 2 xhur iluPlease revert to version 1.9 - version 1.10.1 is in the works.
See https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/699 and https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/700 for the progress of the solution.- Rated 5 out of 5by Tiger, 3 xhur ilu
- Rated 3 out of 5by emotwink, 3 xhur iluThis particular extension draws too much power from my laptop. Otherwise it is working incredibly well.

- Rated 4 out of 5by snadge, 4 xhur ilunot perfect, but it helps, especially if it is used with other addons, it still doesn't randomize your fingerprint like BRAVE does, only BRAVE gets 3 yes's on EFF's 'cover your tracks' (Ads, Trackers, Fingerprints), or, this addon, with Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger, Local CDN and NoScript (is what I use on Librewolf) gets you all 3 yes's on EFF (1 in 900, so 'common as muck' fingerprint, and unable to track & trace through fingerprinting)
