Does its job

Can validate that it works and provides unique Canvas via EFF tool CoverYourTracks in addition to BrowserLeaks and AmIUnique. On developer site, there were some trackers but running pakcet and tracker tracing, there are none coming from the extension itself as is stated in the privacy policy. I was skeptical when I saw them come up from developer's website but was able to validate extension is 100% clean and does exactly what it is supposed to do.Only takes 15MB - 35MB of memory to run which in terms of Chrome and other Chromium based browsers, is a very low overhead for something adding another layer of privacy and security.

Good privacy app. Wish there were a customizations page.

Does exactly what it should do and claims it does. Tested at https://browserleaks.com/canvas
I like that this is a one-exploit fix instead of a plugin claiming to spoof all forms of user fingerprinting, since new methods of that come up all the time. It's better to be certain that you have a particular weakness patched up because you have an extension that corresponds to it exactly, than to go without preventing a leak because you assumed it was included in some catchall extension but it wasn't.

PS: Anyone who cannot figure out that they can click on the extension's icon and pick "ShowHide desktop notifications" simply doesn't DESERVE to use this extension. Heh. Really, the developer should just turn this option off by default, since it's obviously the only thing causing unhappy feedback.
