as you browser the internet, sites you visit can attempted to take screenshots of your computer as pixelbypixel unique digital "fingerprint" of you & and your devices. this is called canvas fingerprinting. this can risk your privacy, even if you're browsing anonymously, e.g. from behind a vpn or using the tor network.
canvas defender is a browser addon that tries to defeat such tracking by adding random noise to your the screen capture. this has no effect on your online experience. this addon is different to others, in that it does not attempt to block the fingerprinting altogether, but rather to confuse it.
instead of completely blocking canvas fingerprinting, canvas defender addon creates a unique and persistent noise that hides your real canvas fingerprint. this addon protects you while browsing both in normal and private mode.
