# canvas_filter

## Introduction

`canvas_filter` is a UserScript designed to block Instructure's [Canvas](https://www.instructure.com/canvas) fingerprinting in web browsers.

## Prerequisites

- A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

- Tampermonkey extension installed

## Installation

### Step 1: Install Tampermonkey

1. Open your web browser.

2. Go to the [Tampermonkey website](https://www.tampermonkey.net/).

3. Click on the download link for your browser.

4. Follow the instructions to install the extension.

### Step 2: Add the `canvas_filter` Script

1. Open Tampermonkey by clicking on its icon in the browser toolbar.

2. Click on the "Dashboard" option.

3. Click on the `+` icon to create a new script.

4. Copy and paste the contents of [`src/canvas-filter.js`](src/canvas-filter.js) into the script editor.

5. Save the script by clicking on the "File" menu and selecting "Save".

### Step 3: Enable the Script

1. In the Tampermonkey Dashboard, ensure that the `canvas_blocker` script is enabled.

2. The script should now be active and blocking canvas fingerprinting on supported websites.
