| 2025-01-14 |  | | en | If you are using Brave browser like I am this does more harm than good. Brave (and lots of other browsers) has built in randomization, so adding an extension just makes your fingerprint stand out. If you are unsure, you can test your results at coveryourtracks.com |
| 2024-12-29 |  | | en | I spent TWO DAYS debugging my project because of this extension! Every image I drew on a canvas it was getting random colour tints. I was about to throw my pc out the window. Turns out, Canvas Fingerprint Defender was the cause of the issue. Disabled it, and poof - problem solved. This extension might be fine for privacy, but the side effects should be mentioned clearly. Save yourself the headache and disable it while coding. |

| 2024-07-20 |  | | en | Don't be mislead by the sophist comments! Despite an "update" in April 2023, this date doesn't represent an update. It means Google's terms have been updated. Check your old version and the latest, it'll be the same. This extension doesn't do anything. Don't let the sophists mislead you further. I confirmed with many different fingerprinting sites . To elaborate further, CFD doesn't prevent sites from knowing what extensions I have, CPU I'm using, RAM, GPU, speakers, etc. Basically all the characteristics a browser leaks without anti-fingerprinting. Furthermore, this extension is abandoned and it simply doesn't work. Full stop. Sadly, the only working extension has now been infected with malware and adware. It took Google more than 3 months to finally remove it after an overwhelming number of flags/complaints. If you want anti-fingerprinting, considering using another browser like Brave or modified Firefox. |

| 2024-05-22 |  | | ru | Cloudflare перестала давать доступ к сайтам из-за этого дополнения, браузер не проходит проверку безопасности. Вероятно отпечаток запрашивается несколько раз и каждый раз приходит разный ответ, пожалуйста, решите данную проблему, иначе для доступа к очень многим сайтам приходится выключать дополнение. |
