[Feature Request] Added white-noise for Canvas renderings...
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2015 5:20 pm
Some tracking websites generate graphics either with HTML 5 Canvas, or through WebGL, and then retrieve that information to uniquely identify browsers. (Apparently each browser + computer hardware generated unique images due to differences in compression algorithms, etc)

Please consider modifying the rendering engine to add some minimal amount of noise to the graphics so that it will break this fingerprinting trick. Possibly add white-listing for sites that legitimately need this functionality.
