Short description
Defending against Canvas fingerprinting by reporting a fake value.	Prevent trackers from personally identifying you by using Canvas APIs.
Full summary
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.	Want to ensure your privacy when you are surfing online? Use our extension Canvas Blocker to ensure websites are not able to personally identify you when you are surfing the Internet. Permissions Required - Our code is required to run on all websites as it is a "firewall" of sorts which scrambles your online identity when you are loading each page. Protect yourself from malicious websites who try to use the HTML canvas element to track you. If you want to switch off the canvas blocker extension, simply disable the extension inside the Extensions page of the browser and activate it when you need it. We do NOT collect any data/browsing history/search queries etc from this extension. All your browsing data is kept within your own browser and is NOT sent to us at all.
