Red or green icon #727

It's not obvious to me what the colour of the icon means. Does a green thumb print mean Canvas Blocker is enabled? Red is disabled? Can't find it in what docs there are. |

CanvasBlocker is enabled in both cases. A green icon means "no fingerprintable API had to be protected by CanvasBlocker on this website, so far", a red icon means "at least one fingerprintable API has been protected by CanvasBlocker on this website". A disabled CanvasBlocker would get visualized with a gray icon. |

You have to keep in mind, all of the APIs that CanvasBlocker protects have legitimate usecases, that they're actually used for fingerprinting is the exception, not the norm. |

If you hover over the icon you will get a tooltip with some information what API was used: |
