From 587a46ccb783ef9be209461cd27e9449b8207c66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marty Oehme Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2023 19:14:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] qutebrowser: Disable canvas fingerprinting Do not allow html5 canvas reading in qutebrowser. This shuts off one of the main avenues of browser fingerprinting (aside from cookies) still currently undertaken. It will possibly stop some obscure streaming sites from working but I do not care, especially at the cost of fingerprinting information. --- qutebrowser/.config/qutebrowser/content.py | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/qutebrowser/.config/qutebrowser/content.py b/qutebrowser/.config/qutebrowser/content.py index b568f1e..90c84bc 100644 --- a/qutebrowser/.config/qutebrowser/content.py +++ b/qutebrowser/.config/qutebrowser/content.py @@ -1,3 +1,5 @@ +# disable html5 canvas fingerprinting (at the cost of a couple streaming pages) +c.content.canvas_reading = False c.content.blocking.enabled = True c.content.blocking.method = "both" c.content.blocking.adblock.lists = [
