Try this link here: Breaks YouTube? · Issue #83 · snyderp/web-api-manager The post by
CHEF-KOCH should help all interested parties.
As i said before i didn't configure my extensions for 1 thing so when i stumbled upon testing sites and pass, then get called into question of what i did to pass the certain site which i never knew off it make happy but also i makes me want to pick apart things which i shouldn't because it took nuff time to get where i am. I will try to find exactly what is responsible for blocking it in WebApi Manager. thank you

Hi, thanks for your time. But how is the link relevant?

 

[Yellowing]

but would you say it worth to have canvas element blocked all the time? it might broke some websites, but easier than messing with javascript

No. Blocking it is just as good as having a normal fingerprint. Think about it. How many people use an extension to block Canvas? But I might be wrong. We need more feedback here.

The link is to help you configure WebApi Manager. IT isn't as easy as some may think,trial & error so to speak.

 

[Yellowing]

So you mean we should use the configuration posted there as a baseline??

I'd furthermore suggest to enable "Pointer Lock" and disable "Fullscreen API". (The last thing hinder a fullscreen windows from youtube to be killed by the button fullscreen-button of the player.)

Well theres millions and millions without even adblock. But yeah thats good question...anyways im running WebAPI on lite settings from now, maybe tweak it later to meet my needs

 

[Yellowing]

You should at least disable those stupid APIs for hardware stuff. Actually the configuration from the link Terry provided is a good baseline. (afaik)

I use TunnelBear Blocker alone with Ublock because they are good at different things & they compliment each other, next scriptsafe plus WebApi Manager are good at different things but they compliment each other also, the 2 last extension are time consuming nuff research is needed and you have to be focus setting for TBB,UB,WAM all together are so many i don't even no how to begin.

Thanks for sharing! Everything is going well. How does WebAPI Manager stop Javascript on sites though? :O

This link should help you understand it better: snyderp/web-api-manager
If not used right it breaks certain things and stops certain things from functioning but with research it will be easy.

Canvas Element
what is the usage of canvas element in html5

The HTML <canvas> element is used to draw graphics, on the fly, via JavaScript. The <canvas> element is only a container for graphics. You must use JavaScript to actually draw the graphics. Canvas has several methods for drawing paths, boxes, circles, text, and adding images.
HTML5 Canvas - W3Schools

You will need to open this page from TBB settings (chrome-extension://bebdhgdigjiiamnkcenegafmfjoghafk/settings.html ) then press on UB protector a page will open scroll down to troubleshooter and press on extra installations steps and something should be added to TBB, press the bear and you will see what has been added.

My bad install Nano Defender same time or along with TBB to get the above working right. Sorry for not putting it first, my bad.
