Block Canvas Fingerprint #996

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Correct me if i'm wrong, wouldn't be useful to add a feature like canvas fingerprint block or (better) obfuscation? Make the device fingerprint less unique can really improve anonimity.

This is a third-party Firefox extension that does this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/no-canvas-fingerprinting/

We might depend on GeckoView for that (#13)

bbinto commented 6 years ago

So @pocmo, due to GeckoView requirements, is this a blocker than?

Yes, from what I have seen there's no way to block this happening inside a WebView.

cpeterso commented 6 years ago

@bbinto, GeckoView has prefs to block non-user-initiated canvas access. We talked about adding a Klar setting for this as part of Klar+GeckoView's fingerprinting protection. Should we add this bug to the v6.0 (GeckoView) milestone?

cpeterso commented 6 years ago

Canvas fingerprinting protection is a new feature that is not available in WebView, so it doesn't need to be in the initial Klar+GeckoView release (6.0).
