Canvasblocker: Google Street View won't function while CanvasBlocker is active

[spodermenpls]

CanvasBlocker is a great add-on that operates normally very well, unfortunately I noticed today that Google Street View (on maps.google.com) doesn't seem to work with a faked Canvas API.

With an activated blocker (regardless which block mode) I only see a frozen picture of the street (after a reload only a black pic) and I am not able to navigate at all. If I set the blocker to "Allow everything", the site works normally again. Is Google able to notice that the canvas API is faked, and if so, is this problem solvable?

This is in fact a bug - I will fix this and the next version (coming soon) will work with google street view.

Version 0.3.4 is out - it should be avaiblabe for update soon. Please check if your problem is solved.

I had now the chance to test the new update. It did improve the perfomance of Google Maps noticeably, unfortunately the Street View service is still not useable while CanvasBlocker is working. What do you think could be the reason for it, now that "readPixels" is fixed?

This is really weird. Street view is working fine on firefox nightly - but not on the normal one. I will have to investigate further what's going wrong there.

I just got the 50.0.1-update for Firefox and all of a sudden Street View works flawlessly with CanvasBlocker at work. According to the changelog, the update is only supposed to fix a HTTP redirecting vulnerability and an issue with the Chinese IME. I doubt these two changes had something to do with this, but I'll take it.. seems like Firefox, Google and CanvasBlocker are getting along now.

Maybe they fixed something without mentioning... but great that it's working now.
