What is Canvas defender?
When you browse the internet, the websites you visit can attempt to take a screenshot of your computer as a unique digital 'fingerprint' of you and your device, based on pixel uniqueness. This is called canvas fingerprinting. Even if you're browsing anonymously, such as behind a VPN or using the TOR network. Canvas Defender is a Firefox add-on that attempts to defeat such tracking by adding random noise to the screenshot. This has no impact on your online experience. The add-on differs from others in that it doesn't try to block fingerprinting entirely but rather to confuse it. The Canvas Defender add-on doesn't completely block canvas fingerprinting but generates unique and persistent noise that can hide your real canvas fingerprint. This add-on can protect you while browsing in both normal and private modes.
