Changing the fingerprint every 1 minute is not useful like this article you linked in the Extension says

"submitting random canvas fingerprint is like changing the outfit you wear every 10 seconds"

And I think that's makes a lot of scenes and should be changed. It would be way better when you could decide by yourself when the canvas information should be changed. I would prefer it to change every 24 hours or so. The same problem is with the User-Agent Randomization. Now it is more striking than just making the Browser more common. I was also thinking that it would be nice to generate those information when the browser is opened and when closed it will get deleted (so it stays during one Session)
I would love to see those changes in the future to make this Extension even better

It could even be dangerous. Changing a fingerprint every minute is easy for sites to detect. Most fingerprinting extensions change it at random. The amount that changes every minute is probably one in a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand of users, leaving us easy to fingerprint, and leaving me skeptical of the research that has gone into this plugin.
