Restore canvas fingerprinting detection to Firefox #1158
Comments
Are there short-term plans to release a bugfix update that disables the functionality on non-V8 browsers to make them usable again until the code is improved, as you seem to suggest in the closed pull request you linked? I believe it is currently making various web applications unusable while PB is running, also being mentioned in #1157 and several closed issues about previous occurrences of the same breakage. |
Yes, absolutely, we should do that on Firefox ASAP. I would if I could. Update: Should be fixed with Privacy Badger version 2017.1.26.1, released a few minutes ago. |
Should also take care of #1268 at the same time. |
@cowlicks I suggest reviewing OpenWPM's implementation here: https://github.com/citp/OpenWPM/blob/a6eb64afd48fe0e2b09be0b65d243f5d64a37a18/automation/Extension/firefox/data/content.js#L183 |
Also our original Firefox implementation here: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadgerfirefox-legacy/blob/00d88bbf42649d31bba181b49a7886c8381682ae/data/fingerprinting.js#L101 |
