There is already an extension on AMO to combat canvas fingerprinting, but was wondering if NS will incorporate this sometime in the future. I didn't install the add-on, but I have been reading that A LOT of sites are now engaging in this. No really sure if it is a major issue though? Opinions? Thoughts?

Edit: Just found an article that says Firefox 58 may have this as a standard feature:

Block canvas will result in broken websites.
You better spoof canvas, so sites works but the data cant be abused

If you don't want to be fingerprinted, you need the Tor Browser at least, which includes both NoScript and canvas spoofing (that's why NoScript initially implemented it, then dropped it in favor of the more cohmprensive approach of the Tor Project).

I believe you can partially block canvas fingerprinting with a surrogate script. I don't remember how to do it though.
