Reviews of canvas fingerprint defender:
love it! works really well and it's a bit lightweight
It doesn't work. It gives fancy notifications but in reality it doesn't work. Its finally been updated but it still doesn't work. I'm using another fingerprint manager like Fingerprint Spoofing which actually works (as tested on privacy websites that test this sort of thing).
Easy to use solution against canvas fingerprinting. I've had a bug free experience so far, so I think its fantastic.
Simple solution against canvas fingerprinting which is fast growing problem.
As much as I think it is good idea, it has been preventing many websites from working properly.
Exceptional, Have used in multiple PC's and it's crazy how it's safe & at the same protects what you dear the most! :)
Does its job
God Job!
Can validate that it works and provides unique Canvas via EFF tool CoverYourTracks in addition to BrowserLeaks and AmIUnique. On developer site, there were some trackers but running pakcet and tracker tracing, there are none coming from the extension itself as is stated in the privacy policy. I was skeptical when I saw them come up from developer's website but was able to validate extension is 100% clean and does exactly what it is supposed to do.Only takes 15MB - 35MB of memory to run which in terms of Chrome and other Chromium based browsers, is a very low overhead for something adding another layer of privacy and security.
It seems like this only works against some trackers; I get random fingerprints on https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ or https://browserleaks.com/canvas, but I don't get them on https://fingerprintjs.com/demo/ (an actual, paid product for this service).
Good privacy app. Wish there were a customizations page.
Does exactly what it should do and claims it does. Tested at https://browserleaks.com/canvas I like that this is a one-exploit fix instead of a plugin claiming to spoof all forms of user fingerprinting, since new methods of that come up all the time. It's better to be certain that you have a particular weakness patched up because you have an extension that corresponds to it exactly, than to go without preventing a leak because you assumed it was included in some catchall extension but it wasn't. PS: Anyone who cannot figure out that they can click on the extension's icon and pick "Show|Hide desktop notifications" simply doesn't DESERVE to use this extension. Heh. Really, the developer should just turn this option off by default, since it's obviously the only thing causing unhappy feedback.
Not a lot of options apart from notifications and activation/deactivation but works well. Its not supposed to make your fingerprint not unique but does deceive a lot of sites
love it
It doesn't work. https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ still detects my unique fingerprint when it's used.
I had high hopes, since I saw the popups appearing during the Panopticlick scan. Yet at the end I had the disappointment: Does your browser protect from fingerprinting? ✗ your browser has a unique fingerprint
dont work. i tested with uniquemachine.org and it identified me everytime
Does what it claims to. Gives you a different 100% unique fingerprint each time.
It's great at what it does. And I was shocked to see just how many sites are using browser fingerprinting of one sort or another. But it really needs some configuration options. You can't even turn it on and off from the menubar if it breaks a site. You've got to actually open your browser's preferences and disable it, which is about as user-unfriendly as you can get.
Seems to work perfectly. It does need a whitelist for the troublesome sites.
Please, make canvas changes manually!
Working. Awesome! Now if I could just randomize the other stuff that websites track.
Canvas Fingerprinting is evolving everyday...
perfect, does what i need it to do, it will randomize your fingerprint across all sites trying to read it. i tested with panopticlick and every time it gave a different fingerprint. this is a great extension for anyone looking for an extra layer of anonymity.
Works as described. Loved it.
I like it
Awesome, does exactly what I need it to do! Although, I know how to detect this with Javascript, it just takes a little bit of thinking ;-).
Works as expected. You should put the repository on GitHub so we can make a settings page to allow customization.
Seems to work well. Only thing is for panopticlick it seems to break something which makes me a bit wary.
[Taps Canvas Fingerprint Defender icon repeatedly] Hello? Is this thing on? It's just grayed out.
Good, but could be better if we have an option to disable the notification.
So far so good.
