a better canary would be one that is auto updated continuously and auto checked by an open source addon before sending your cookie to the website.

When voat's cannary stops being updated, you know it was too late before you knew.

It comes from a misunderstanding of what the canary is. It's an indicator that a request for data has been made, not that your data is deleted because of that request.

A canary (warrant canary) is a section of a website that gets updated regularly with a phrase like "This site has never received a request for or provided information to any agency."

Essentially that means the website owner hasn't had the FBI calling about something you posted. When the canary "dies," or doesn't get updated, assume that the website has had a request for information about a user.
