I actually use this feature for a VR app I'm building.
I'm so sick of the privacy fetishism. You're fingerprintable, ok. You're so fingerprintable that to make you not fingerprintable, we'd have to make browsers only do static document retrieval. Oh, wait, no, not even that would really be enough. Your IP address plus the pages you visit at which times of day is enough.
The browser hasn't been a document-reading platform since CGI was invented. What is that, 30 years now? You don't like that apps are built in browsers? I don't care. Functionally nobody cares. If we couldn't, we'd be building Java apps instead, someone would have invented an open source, live, searchable, distributed system for finding apps, and then you'd still be fingerprintable.
Go sit in a cave if you don't want anybody to know who you are. The rest of us have work to do.
