Wordpress would like to detect Tor Browser so it doesn't perform the check and therefore doesn't pop the prompt. This would significantly reduce the number of prompts Tor Browser users are seeing. The (old) ticket is here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18195 [...] PS: Unless FF with privacy.resistFingerprinting identified itself as Tor Browser, this wouldn't help FF, just TB. But maybe FF _should_ identify itself as TB if TB starts identifying itself as TB?
Shouldn't Wordpress be wanting to detect whether the browser has a canvas fingerprinting warning feature, not whether the browser is Tor Browser?
That difference will become more important as we continue migrating features like that one into other mainstream browsers.
