Canvas Fingerprint Defender is a lite addon that let you easily hide your real canvas fingerprint by reporting a random fake value.
According to many tech blogs, completely blocking canvas fingerprint is not a good idea, therefore reporting a "fake" fingerprint could be the best solution to better protect your privacy.
This addon simply adds a small noise to the actual fingerprint and "renews" it every time you visit a website or reload a page. It is important to note that, it does not have any settings or options to adjust. Simply add it to your browser and start surfacing the internet. If you want to test this addon, please visit a website that show your fingerprint (i.e. browserleaks). Every time you reload the page, you will see a new fake fingerprint.
Note 1: depending on your browser and platform, you may need to (Shift+Refresh) a web page to renew Canvas fingerprint.
Note 2: If you also want to protect your browser against other types of fingerprints, please see my other addons: AudioContext Fingerprint Defender, WebGL Fingerprint Defender.
Note 3: In order to report bugs, please visit addon's homepage and fill the bug report form.
