Canvas Fingerprint Defender is a lite extension that lets you easily hide your real canvas fingerprint by reporting a random fake value.

According to many tech blogs, completely blocking canvas fingerprints 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 shows your fingerprint (i.e. browserleaks). Every time you reload the page, you will see a new fake fingerprint.

To report bugs, please visit the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/canvas-defender.html) and fill out the bug report form.

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

It doesn't work. https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ still detects my unique fingerprint when it's used.

Скриншоты, сделанные в браузере с этим расширением, получают какой-то цветовой шум (разные оттенки). Лучше загружать фото и делать скрины без него (заранее отключать расширение)

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

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.
