I've been thinking for a while—what if the solution to fingerprinting wasn't making your browser less unique, but less constant?

Take Canvas fingerprints. If you added a bit of randomness to how the browser renders pixels, the fingerprint would change each time you measured it. It would still be unique, but it would be a useless tracking tool.

Presumably I'm not the first person to come up with this, is there a reason it isn't done?
