I hear it, my friend. It is on the list, although not on the top. You don't have to show up everywhere I make a post. Help spread words about Slimjet for us on the Internet and you shall see this feature fairly soon.

After doing some investigation on this canvas fingerprinting issue, I found that Chrome actually provides this command line switch "--disable-reading-from-canvas" to disable javascript from reading the canvas. That should thwart any canvas fingerprinting attempts.

Will this be sufficient for you?

Any adblocker with easyprivacy list https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/ enabled will block it.

Well i don't like too many of them running but you seem very concerned about your privacy online which is good thing no doubt so you must run a adblocker of sorts or something like ghostery i really can't see you browsing the web without one and if you are, are you not worried about the implications of being tracked and ad targeted on every site you visit?
Would it not be better to use in the mean time while flashpeak is working on canvas for the next update ?

You are right but Canvas fingerprintings more dangerous to advertisements.
And, adblocker is a memory monster.

Canvas fingerprinting control option has been added in 4.0.7.0.

We are working a builtin ad blocker. It will use the adblock plus lists but we implement it internally using C++ to boost speed and reduce memory usage.
