posted 6 years agoThe extension is translated in several languages (https://crowdin.com/project/canvasblocker) and the main language is English. As the used language is controlled by Firefox you have to check your browser settings to know why it's displayed in French.
The letters on the icon indicate which APIs where protected by the extension (C = canvas, D = DOMRect, N = naivgator, W = window, A = audio). If you hover over the icon with your mouse you should get a tooltip with further information. But you get the detailed information when you click on the fingerprint icon in the url bar.
If the hashes do not change it can mean several things - most likely something in your settings. Please open an issue at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues with all your questions and your settings. This review system is not great for extensive communication.
The red message indicates that you have privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled which changes the behaviour of CB slightly (it most likely explains that the hashes do not change). It's not bad - just something to be aware of. Here is the English translation of that message: You have privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled. This slightly changes the behaviour of CanvasBlocker. See further information {link:here:https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/158} and {link:here:https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/issues/767}.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ebayybe, 3 months agoI've tried many privacy plugins, but CanvasBlocker is top-tier. A huge plus for the "fake data" (noise) generation mode, which tricks sites into thinking they got real metrics while your actual fingerprint stays hidden. It protects not just Canvas, but Audio API and WebGL too.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ábel Póta, 6 months agoWould recommand, works as expected and randomises fingerprint. Never broke a site for me, only increased my privacy.
