It is interesting, that while technologies like canvas, WebGL or WebRTC were intented for other purposes, their main usage became fingerprinting. For example, WebGL provides valuable information about GPU model and its drivers.
This shows how browser developers race to provide new features ignoring privacy impact.
I don't understand why features that allow fingerprinting (reading back canvas pixels or GPU buffers) are not hidden behind a permission.
