Perhaps an entropy function could be added to Firefox to add noise to Firefox's rendering in the canvas; noise that would change on each render. This might make it more difficult to establish a reliable fingerprint, at least without acquiring multiple samples to average away the noise.
- SubiculumCode 9y agoI might add that the noise doesn't necessarily have to always come from the same distribution. The more the noise changes distributions, the harder it would be to use sample averaging to extract the signal, I think.

- SubiculumCode 9y agoYou would just limit noise to the spectrum of existing differences between in the wild renderings.
