    Only uBlock Origin and Dictionary.com. There are more and more websites which will not disclose their contents unless the ad-blocker is disabled...

    Stealth Mode looks interesting.

    I like it :)......I decided in the uBlock Origin vs Adguard choice that I would pick uBlock,a decision that I have not regretted.
    ....But using Adguards Stand-alone Stealth mode extension with uBlock has added extra capabilities to my extension-arsenal without my having to worry about the potential conflict of running the full Adguard ext alongside uBlock.

    This sounds contradicting though. I wonder, what is the point of database then?! Better blocking? If so, then database matters.
    Aside from that, it does not seem to replace an user agent when enabled nor blocking referer. :doubt:

    That's Strangeo_O.......Is it conflicting with any of the Ghostery,CanvasBlock or WebRTC Leak Prevent exts that you are using?...
    I disabled the Adguard Spyware Filter in my Stealth Mode ext as I already have it as an extra uBlock Filter...
    I am W10 OS but am seen as Linux.

    You're right, i couldn't find something about Privacy Policy on the main site or in FF, Chrome or Opera add-on pages, However it seems the dev to be quite active on his Github page, Open a new issue there and I'm sure he will answer you back soon https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector/issues

    I don't know but when i use this test with canvas defender, the results is that i 'm not protected of fingerprinting, i also think that this test only detect the fact that i have a fingerprinting but mine is blur (not hide).

    Canvas Defender creates a fake canvas so it works by showing a canvas but not the real one.

    I just found this flag --disable-reading-from-canvas and panopticlick.eff.org can't finish the test because there is no canvas hash apparently.

    Good one, but disabling canvas can break some webpages, just like disabling webrtc prevents video playback.

    It breaks some google extensions such as google voice and google search by image.

    I haven't really found websites that don't work without it as of writing this.

    Its a whack a mole to try and hide one's online identity. If you really want to hide you need to kill webrtc, use a VPN and run incognito with canvas disabled.

    And probably not run Chrome.

    I am able to use "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" again, because previously "Disable Youtube HTML5 Player" stopped working and without it, there was no autoplay on HTML5's youtube. Flash is being installed separately now, probably that helped. I have also added: "CanvasFingerprintBlock".

    I had mentioned this later in the thread and hadn't seen your post - question - are you using this?

    I'm using it now and it seems to kill some Chrome extensions or at least disable them partially. Just curious if you use this whether you've seen that also - Thanks
