Screen spoofing potentially detectable #510

Closed Maryse47 closed 3 years ago

Maryse47 commented 3 years ago

Screen spoofing as used by CanvasBlocker may be vulnerable to detection by anti-fingerprinting. Please see https://palant.info/2020/12/10/how-anti-fingerprinting-extensions-tend-to-make-fingerprinting-easier for details (I don't want to copy paste it to github).

The points in the linked article do not apply to CB (well - the last one of "The art of faking" kind of does apply but this is unavoidable). I already fixed them..

The "solutions" that are mentioned might also not be sufficient enough (the bind approch definitely is not).

But thanks for pointing me to the article.
