The latest release of Canvas Blocker (Fingerprint Protect) version 1.12 for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge focuses on enhancing user privacy by manipulating specific methods of the HTML5 Canvas element. This element is often exploited to create a unique fingerprint that can track users across the web. Canvas Blocker effectively disrupts this process by slightly altering the image data generated by these methods, thereby preventing websites from establishing a distinct identification key based on your browser's canvas data.
When a potentially invasive method is invoked, Canvas Blocker will alert users through a desktop notification, ensuring they are informed of any privacy risks. Notably, the extension operates with a non-persistent background page, which optimizes performance and minimizes any impact on the browsing experience when the tool is not actively in use. Moreover, Canvas Blocker employs a more efficient coding structure compared to similar privacy extensions, allowing for more effective prevention of fingerprinting while still permitting the canvas element to be used for legitimate purposes.
Users can choose to completely or selectively block the canvas element, making Canvas Blocker a versatile tool for enhancing online privacy while browsing with the supported web browsers.
In addition to this extension, users interested in bolstering their privacy may also explore options such as initiating Google Chrome in Incognito Mode, preventing the browser from recording history, stopping the transmission of crash reports that may contain personal information, and enabling heavy ad intervention to further protect their data online. These additional practices can collectively contribute to a more secure and private web browsing experience
