Comment (by cypherpunks3):

 I can recall needing to enable the canvas stuff on two sites: twitter, to
 upload a userpic (it requires you to crop the image using a canvas-based
 image editing thing) and some meme generator (which apparently composits
 the text over images in-browser).

 With the current warning, though, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of tor
 browser users would just assume these sites are broken and have no idea
 that it has anything to do with that irritating box that always pops up.
 So +1 from this anon for a "nevar again" option (though it should still
 show the little easel icon in the url bar from which it can be allowed
 sometimes).
