HTML5 Canvas Fingerprinting Blocking/Spoofing Extensions are now NFG in Vivaldi. 😱
-
@npro ditto,
Vivaldi 6.5.3201.4 / Chrome 120.0.6099.34
, withcanvas-blocker - fingerprint protect
0.2.0.yet, ofc, all still fine & dandy in floorp.

Well, I see as result of the test the fingerprint spoofed false, but in every reload a different fingerprint (Random Fingerprint in the settings). I think that it is OK. That is what the Canvas Blocker is supposed to do, to give a random fake fingerprint.

In the meantime in Floorp...

@npro i use that in my dedicated
session wipe
profile, but explicitly, deliberately, not in mydaily
profile for numerous convenience reasons. -
@npro, yes, desirable that Vivaldi also has a better anti-fingerprint, but anyway the Canvas Blocker make a good job.
In Firefox and forks you need an extension to block ads, in Vivaldi an extension to fake fingerprints. -
snicker, anew.
yet another canvas fingerprint. i can/have now blocked it in my
gecko
browsers, but what about the poor benightedchromium

Is this popup a default floorp thing or generated by an extension?
Thanks

Default. It's this -> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting (that can be triggered also by an extension).

@ImaginaryFreedom, I use this

Aha. I need to re-familiarize myself with desktop FF. They have a few privacy features that interest me these days, finally.

The issue I have with "fingerprint" and "canvas" countermeasures is a lot of them really screw up website functionality to the point where they are more hassle than they're worth. Or they are resource-eaters inside the browser itself.
Which is why I rarely use FF forks like Librewolf and such because of all those hassles. You randomize all those things and then a bunch of ecommerce sites etc think you're a malicious hacker or something.
Bad enough that I already have to constantly be subjected to things like captchas because of all the content blocking I do.
