Canvasblocker: Need access to privacy settings?

Created on 29 Jan 2020  路  1Comment  路  Source: kkapsner/CanvasBlocker

Hi. Not sure where else to ask this.

Was alerted by Firefox that the latest update required access to my privacy settings. The release notes does not help me understand why or what exactly this entails. Hope you can clarify for me.

Thanks! And thank you for making this important tool.

The access to the privacy setting is needed to display the notice for privacy.resistFingerprinting. So it's not that important but unfortunately I cannot make it optional.

CB only reads that and does not write any privacy settings: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/search?q=%22browser.privacy%22&unscoped_q=%22browser.privacy%22
