How does/will this new feature compare against an addon like CanvasBlocker?

  It's far more comprehensive (covers more fingerprinting vectors), and since it's baked into the browser you're far less likely to run into webextension limitations causing your protections to be defeated[1]. Finally, being the "official" implementation, and with only an on/off flag, you won't get fingerprinted based on what fingerprint mitigating extensions you have installed (eg. maybe you have canvas blocker installed but not webaudio blocker?).
