Enable fingerprinting protection by default

[Jacalz]

I would suggest that you enable fingerprintinge protection by default because I rarely ever see any site breaking and that is after a couple of months with brave 👍
I have seen that Sketchfab breaks with it enabled but that is the only thing, the thread from the community can be found here:
https://community.brave.com/t/sketchfab-not-loading-3dmodels-with-fingerprinting-protection-on/1752/3

And here is a github issue with logged problems:
#2965

As Luke Mulks said, it might be different in different regions but it works great here in Sweden 🇸🇪

the thing is that there is no clear indication such as messageBox when something (eg on https://spreadsheets.google.com) is broken due to fingerprinting protection. A browser guide tour would help here.

+1 for browser guide tour.

It would be interesting to run some checks against sites that had breakage with FP enabled, and see if the issues remain, or if they may have been resolved over time.

@luixxiul - do you know if we had some specific domains where FP was causing breakage? If not, no worries, I can ask around and see too.

Thanks for submitting @Jacalz, regardless of whether this is enabled by default, it's really good to hear that site breakage isn't being observed in your region w/FP enabled.

#4621(#3723) should help in notifying users about FP breaking sites. I think it would be nice to show a message box when there is a FP method loaded on a site to warn users that the page might not work properly.

@srirambv we need to be carful here, because personally I have fingerprint always on and if I would get this notification every single time that FP was blocked I would rage quite Brave 😄

[srirambv]

@NejcZdovc I have it too but I think thats a little trouble have to go for the extra protection. 😆 But since its the js popup the second one would show to disable the notification for that site.

This has also been proposed by @BrendanEich in Slack. Once #2965 (comment) (whitelist of sites known to break with FP enabled) is done, the notification could potentially be infrequent enough that it isn't annoying.
