They certainly won’t hurt, though (many websites just take a hash of the canvas).&lt;p&gt;It’s very difficult to have a non-unique fingerprint. Your browser would have to be the exactly the same as a bunch of other people. At the moment (AFAIK), this is only possible with Tor (all Tor users have the same browser fingerprint.)&lt;p&gt;You don’t have to worry about this too much, though. Firefox and uBlock Origin blacklist many fingerprinting scripts.</text></comment>
