That can help with fingerprinting. Any entropy escaping from a users session is useful.

This can be used to make a user's fingerprint stand out based on their browsing patterns. However, it is very fragile in practice. The tracker would need both a rare fingerprint, as well as a rare browsing pattern in order to identify a user.

This is pretty hard, considering the Tor Browser does a good job at having a common fingerprint at it's highest security setting (Javascript disabled, which is what this tracker is for).
