Comment:

 Mike, please re-consider this.

 Please just block "access image data on a canvas". If I understand this
 right, it's just about this little icon on the left in the url bar.

 Life goes on without this icon. Without telling me, I wouldn't even have
 noticed.

 What do you expect the user to do after seeing this message? The only
 useful reaction is to "never for this site". Does it actually break
 anything blocking this thing completely?

 This warning is really ugly and useless. Please remove it.
