Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

    I know that in Threadiverse 2 weeks is a very long time but I just checked out CanvasBlocker and for a moment I had a similar question

    On the page of CanvasBlocker addon there is a link to https://browserleaks.com/canvas.
    And once I installed the addon, the page started saying Uniqueness: 100% (The signature is unique to our database) which sounds bad. But if you refresh the page, you can see that the Signature changes everytime. And I think this is the core, everytime a page tries to fingerprint my canvas, it will get a different signature. Every time I open a page, from canvas vector, I will look like a different viewer
