You'd need a standardized font rendering engine to defeat fingerprinting via canvas.

"Same canvas image looks the same on every browser" seems like a desirable state of affairs to me?

I think the problem is that canvas can be GPU-accelerated, and GPUs don't have an exact standard for how each pixel will look.

That's fair.

But that really only gives the attacker the OS (and perhaps the GPU vendor?). Not ideal for sure, but not that many bits of info, especially if you are in the majority (windows / intel)
