Web Panels: what are your must-haves?

@mib2berlin said in Web Panels: what are your must-haves?:

what should change there?

The content of the page, for example you should see a different Signature with each reload.

/edit: oh I forgot to tell you (in case you've missed) that you need to use some canvas blocker extension for it to be different.

Hm, shows the same in a tab too with Ctrl+F5.
Anyway, maybe panels are not for you but I think it is one of the major feature in Vivaldi.

I don't know about the tab, but if you would read the post I referred to, it says "so i can keep being assured that my html5 canvas fingerprint is still being successfully spoofed", I didn't include the full details of that post, so you need to install an anti-tracking extension like this one https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/canvas-fingerprint-defend/lanfdkkpgfjfdikkncbnojekcppdebfp , then the Signature should change in the Window Panel but it's not.

This is a bit to much for me.
All I know is that panels are not fully accessible via extensions. I guess you found a case where this happens.

@npro well. two points... for both of which it was important for readers of my OP to recognise specifically which browser i was writing about, ahem.

in my fav browser [ahem, again] the behaviour i described does occur, once this is installed; https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/canvasblocker/. I cheekily deliberately chose to omit that detail, above, to see who was really paying attention... answer, nobody.
in a prior fav browser, with https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/canvas-blocker-fingerprin/nomnklagbgmgghhjidfhnoelnjfndfpd installed, it also worked fine for years... until it broke back in 2023 or possibly year/s before, per https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/90984/html5-canvas-fingerprinting-blocking-spoofing-extensions-are-now-nfg-in-vivaldi, whence i began reporting it, but like so much else important around here, it was officially ignored.

that which was once my fav browser, shall never be again, for this & so many more accumulating problems. thank goodness there's another browser with web-panels... my fav browser.
