>Oh, you can also allow canvas fingerprinting, but that seems like a bad idea - maybe in a separate firefox profile just for sites like this one..

No it won't help. That is big problem with finger printing. It basically logs your computer hardward with the profile.

So no matter how many times you make new profiles. This can be mitigated via VM. However with bugs such as zenbleed, VM may not be enough.

Nothing is private has a good demo. https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/nothing-private That is reason why we need to not allow WEI or anything like that on massive scale.

I meant, use a dedicated Firefox profile that you only use for a small handful of websites where you don't want Resist Fingerprinting enabled, and your regular profile for the 99.99% of other sites. You can run both at once even.
