Overview

CanvasShield: Canvas Fingerprinting Detector

Protect your privacy by detecting when websites attempt to fingerprint your browser using HTML5 Canvas techniques. Canvas fingerprinting is a tracking method that creates a unique identifier of your device without requiring cookies or storage permissions.

Key Features:
• Real-time detection of canvas fingerprinting attempts
• Visual dashboard with time-based and domain-based analytics
• Instant notification when a website tries to fingerprint you
• Export detected fingerprinting attempts as CSV
• Toggle detection on/off with a single click
• Zero server communication - operates entirely on your device

CanvasShield helps you understand which websites are trying to track you across the web through sophisticated fingerprinting techniques. The extension works completely offline and doesn't require any external services or permissions beyond what's needed for detection.

Designed for privacy-conscious users, security researchers, and anyone who wants greater visibility into tracking techniques used by modern websites.

Privacy Note: This extension only monitors and reports fingerprinting attempts - it does not block them. For complete protection, consider using this alongside a content blocker.
