Rated 3 out of 5
by Teagan, 2 years agoI would like to give this Add-On more then 2 1/2 stars (which is what I selected but it's showing 3 starts). In general, it does seem to work with some flaws. For me, my biggest issue, or what annoys me about all add-ons, is that they will always slow down your browser and CanvasBlocker is no exception to this. It does slow down my browser quite a bit, but I suppose that can vary from user to user depending on what you've selected as its settings. So don't be surprised if it does slow down your browser.
If you are using the Privacy Badger Add-On, expect the Add-On's to conflict with each other a lot, or from time to time. Depending on the type of internet user you are (or Netizen); if you are normally intimidated by what seems to be a complicated Add-On with lots of options to select, or you don't know what DOMRect, webGL, or APIs means, don't let that discourage, or prevent you from using it. Take your time to read how to use this extension (Add-On) and you should be good.

I notice much better performance when I disable notifications for DOMRect: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/discussions/638#discussioncomment-5313863

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12814982, 2 days agoAn sich ein wirklich klasse AddOn, was Webseiten definitiv zu schaffen macht.
Leider bremmst es den Browser je nach Seite extrem aus.
Gerade Karten-Webseiten wie z.B. Google Maps sind teilweise unbenutzbar, wenn der CanvasBlocker zuschlägt.
Der Blocker von Firefox selbst, ist hier etwas harmloser, dafür aber auch von der Block-Qualität schlechter. - Rated 5 out of 5by Rinshun, 4 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17288647, 22 days agoThis is a game changer. This security add-on compliments your VPN and enhances the security of your web surfing experience. You should include this as one part of your layered strategy security plan.

- Rated 4 out of 5by B00T987, a month agoI love this extension! However its a bit hard to use, because you have to uninstall, and reinstall the extension to open up the easy to use settings picker. If you change your settings as often as I do, if not then this is an easy 5/5 extension.

- Rated 4 out of 5by AnoniM0US3, a month agothe addon prevents "youtube comment search" addon from working
is there a way to fix this, without having to turn canvasblocker off each time?
or even better: can i block or unblock each element separately, until i find the culprit? (the way "NoScript" addon visualized this is very beginner userfriendly)
thank you - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18369793, a month ago
