Canvas Fingerprint Defender

Defending against Canvas fingerprinting by reporting a fake value.

Canvas Fingerprint Defender: Edge Add-On for Privacy Protection

Canvas Fingerprint Defender is an Edge add-on designed to safeguard your online privacy. Instead of completely blocking canvas fingerprints, which might not be advantageous, this extension intelligently hides your real fingerprint by reporting a random fake value. As you traverse the internet, this add-on slightly alters the actual fingerprint and renews it each time you enter a website or reload a page. There are no settings or options to adjust - simply add it to your browser and begin your secure browsing experience.

Canvas Fingerprint Defender is a valuable tool for anyone concerned about online privacy. It offers robust protection against canvas fingerprinting, is easy to use, and does not impact browsing performance.
