    Thank you Krusty. Much appreciated. I'll figure it out now.

    It explains a lot. Cheers for the knowledge.

    The best for Webgl is:


    a) Webgl tracking block (Scriptsafe) - Advantage of seeing Websites that use tracking:

    b) --disable-webgl (Peter Beverloo List)

    CanvasBlocker v0.4.3a Released (Decemer 15, 2017)
    Download (AMO)
    (There is a known issue which may break some web pages)
    known issues:
    - due to API blocking some web pages may break. Use 0.4.3b instead.

    changes:
    - hide white, black and ignore list as they can be done with the url specific settings. They are still present and working in the background.
    - if settings are not loaded fast enough the loading is not force but all APIs are blocked

    new features:
    - reset settings
    - new white random generator - creates output similar to Tor browser
    - blockMode and showNotifications can now be chosen url specific
    - new setting to ignore canvas with only few colors

    fixes:
    - page action was not always showing
    - waiting for settings created error messages in browser console
    - do not show notifications when canvas faking was aborted

    Please do this test:

    https://browserleaks.com/proxy

    reload the page at least 3 times.

    What is the number of your Subscriptions?

    Firefox ESR + CanvasBlocker

    A short time ago they were at zero.

    CanvasBlocker Version 0.4.4b released.

    Version 0.4.4b:
    known issues:
    - force setting loadings may result in non working plugins or not opening direct image links. Use 0.4.4a instead or wait for Firefox 59 which provides the required API to solve this issue once and for all

    changes:
    - if settings are not loaded fast enough the loading is forced

    Version 0.4.4a:
    known issues:
    - due to API blocking some web pages may break. Use 0.4.4 instead.

    changes:
    - if settings are not loaded fast enough the loading is not forced but all APIs are blocked

    Version 0.4.4:
    known issues:
    - force setting loadings may result in non working plugins or not opening direct image links. Use 0.4.3a instead or wait for Firefox 59 which provides the required API to solve this issue once and for all

    changes:
    - show white, black and ignore list again, but only in expert mode

    fixes:
    - Firefox consumed 100% CPU and could not be closed
    - Unknown setting breaks Firefox completely

    The developer corrected the bug I brought to the attention.
    But partially.

    WebAPI Manager - An interesting extension to block content (for example: WebRTC, Battery Status API, Canvas, WebGL, ... and a lot more) on a general basis or only for specific domains.
    Logging can be enabled to see what API has been blocked, Passive Logging is available too (nothing is actually blocked, only logged)
    The extension is available for Firefox and Chrome.
    Edit: There are some website breakages even if only one option was selected in the settings (for example on websites where "disqus" is embedded)
    After a click on "Clear Settings" and all is fine.
    Edit 2: And on Wilders. Report: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/i-can-reply-to-a-thread.400244/
    WebAPI Manager v0.9.21 (January 9, 2018)

    Thanks @mood . It looks kind of complicated and the "Info" links are not helpful to me.

    I don't know whether to change that or not. CanvasBlocker fakes the fingerprint. Not having any fingerprint is a fingerprint in itself isn't it?

    Yep, same here. I also prefer fake fingerprint over no fingerprint at all.
