I've been worried about this since Google switched to it in Feb this year.

Apparently the short answer is "you can't". Which is terrifying. Surely some clever peeps out there can find a way round it (for normies)?

Canvas blocker is redundant with Librewolf's protections (privacy.resistFingerprinting), same with JS blocker redundant with uBlock Origin. You make yourself more fingerprintable. It is better that you first understand what protections you have and why before adding new addons that increase attack surface. The features you are looking for are included already.

You're correct. I was thinking of how I have Floorp set up.

CreepJS doesn't see NoScript as an extension and only catches me if I don't switch IPs. Time zone is also worth adjusting of one is serious.

Instead of canvas blocker, check out JShelter.
