I wish there was more research being done around this. I appreciate what Firefox is doing, and I assume there are good reasons for their fingerprinting strategies. They know more than me about this stuff. But... it still sets off some alarm bells in my head. It seems like it would be strictly better to spoof location/canvas/microphone data instead of only blocking it.
