a few suggestions for reorganizing preferences

Now that CanvasBlocker has grown to include other APIs, the preferences could be a bit more logically organized:

1. Change the name of the Faking section to Canvas API.
2. Move the settings “Block mode” and “Store image for inspection” into the Canvas API section.
3. Move the three other API sections up so that all four API sections are together.
4. Two options for the “API whitelist” settings (aka “Protected API features”): a. Move them into a new section between Window API and Notifications. b. Break them up and move each API’s features into the appropriate API section. Building on the suggestion at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/245#issuecomment-419511152, that might look something like this:

Protect audio API
    Block audio fingerprinting on all websites              ☑︎
    Block/allow on specific websites (click arrow to add)   ▼
        example1.com                                        ☐
        example2.com                                        ☐
        [          ] +
    Block/allow specific API features on all websites       ▼
        getFloatFrequencyData                               ☑︎
        getByteFrequencyData                                ☑︎
        getFloatTimeDomainData                              ☑︎
        getByteTimeDomainData                               ☑︎
        getChannelData                                      ☑︎
        copyFromChannel                                     ☑︎
        getFrequencyResponse                                ☑︎

1. One last little thing: In the API Whitelist / Protected API Features section, there should not be any hyphens in the API names – e.g. “Canvas API,” not “Canvas-API."

Very good input.

To 1.: The faking section will stay there (the rng settings are API independent) but a separate canvas section makes totally sense.

To 2.: The block mode is also for all APIs. But the “store image…:” will go to canvas

To 3.: I would rather move the canvas section down. So the order will be:

• (empty section for the first three settings)
• asking
• faking
• notifications
• lists
• canvas API
• audio API
• history API
• window API
• DOMRect API
• misc
• settings

To 4.: b:

To 5.: obsolete due to 4b
