Canvas Tracking.

The media has been awash with reports of Canvas Tracking. A new technique for tracking users.
These reports vary between news that it is not effective to news that it is very effective.
Some claim it cant be blocked and some claim it can.

NoScript is setup for you in the Tor Profile and it disables javascript by default. On sites where you must run it you must 'opt-in' using the NoScript option menu in the Firefox taskbar at the bottom of the browser window.

To further restrict the ability for Canvas Tracking to affect our users we are introducing AdBlock+ with Canvas Script Blocking.

This will be introduced in the new version available from October. We are currently beta testing this release.

Thank you for reading this far.
