Canvas Defender

What is Canvas Defender?

A browser add-on designed to combat online tracking by obscuring digital fingerprints, Canvas Defender takes a unique approach to preserving user privacy. As you navigate the internet, websites can attempt to capture a pixel-by-pixel screenshot of your computer, creating a unique "digital fingerprint" that can identify you and your devices, even when browsing anonymously or using tools like VPNs or the Tor network. Rather than blocking this canvas fingerprinting altogether, Canvas Defender adds random noise to the screen capture, effectively confusing the tracking mechanism without disrupting your online experience
