Did canvas fingerprinting blocking make it to this release? There were many articles saying it might or will happen and I can't find anything backing this up in the release notes.

- Sylos 9y agoWell, you'll notice soon enough, if it does get shipped. So many webpages cause that prompt to pop up, it's kind of ridiculous. Frankly might be a reason for them to hold off on shipping it, it's not user-friendly at all to get that smacked into the face, seemingly at random, with no conception of what will break or what's to gain when blocking it. One of the most prominent pages that makes that prompt pop up is GitHub.
