Apparently, canvas fingerprint blockers are not effective according to the below
How Canvas Fingerprint Blockers Make You Easily Trackable | Multilogin
The most effective way seems to have a fake consistent fingerprint and that is to use CanvasDefender extension which utilizes the below
- Make the canvas fingerprinting function available on the websites you visit. (So it’s not clear you are wearing a mask.)
- Use a canvas identity with consistency. (So it’s not clear you are trying to avoid detection.)
- Switch up the identity when necessary. (To erase your tracks.)
CanvasDefender is not a canvas fingerprint “blocker” or a “random canvas fingerprint submitter”.
In short, just change your fingerprint whenever you opens up your browser.....and browse.
Good info for read up

Oooops, it seems that using CanvasDefender is equally ineffective as its original canvas fingerprint can be extracted. Test here with and without enabling CanvasDefender

CanvasBlocker (for Firefox) passed the test!!
