We should warn the user that this site has known problems when fingerprinting is enabled. With an option to disable now.

  • Google docs?
  • Hangouts?
  • Others?

Sometimes it would be hard to put a placeholder on a broken page like google sheet. #2343

@bsclifton has created an issue for this here -> #2965

ya I think we came to that same conclusion in that ticket but I'll leave this one open instead.

should this be a whitelist or just a notification that appears whenever a site is trying to access fingerprinting APIs (canvas, webgl, audio, etc.) in a first-party context? i am leaning toward the latter because maintaining the whitelist will be a lot of work.

if you can get the generic way to work that'd be even better ya.

I guess it depends on how common we have fingerprinting stats show up. If it's not very common the generic way is probably better.
