→Extra credit: canvas fix
Examples:
== Other data acquired via plugins ==
Things like geolocation, database access and such require the user to grant permission for a given site. For geolocation, this is done with an infobar. We should do everything we can to make it clear to users what they're providing, and give them centralized control of those permissions in the privacy panel. This is what the UX privacy proposals seek to do.
== HTML5 Canvas ==
"After plugins and plugin-provided information, we believe that the HTML5 Canvas is the single largest fingerprinting threat browsers face today." - Tor Project.
Original research: [http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~hovav/dist/canvas.pdf Pixel Perfect: Fingerprinting Canvas in HTML5], demo: [https://www.browserleaks.com/canvas HTML5 Canvas Fingerprinting].
