Will allowing HTML5 Canvas data in RFP fallback to FPP? (lemmy.ml)

Since version 118+, Firefox introduced FPP (Finger Printing Protection) which is in short water downed version of RFP (Resist Finger Printing).

FPP is enabled by default from version 119 onwards if you enable ETP (Enhanced Tracking Protection).

FPP randomizes canvas data subtly than RFP, which is why RFP breaks some sites. So, my question is, if we allow canvas data extraction for a broken site will it fallback to FPP's subtle canvas randomization, or allowing it will expose canvas data completely if we have ETP enabled?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
