 When accessing Github a dialog appears:

  > This website attempted to access image data on a canvas. Since canvas
 image data can be used to discover information about your computer, blank
 image data was returned this time.

 A button is shown with a default action "Allow in the future" and other
 options are "Never for this site" and not now.

 PROBLEM:

 The default option should be the most security conscious, which is
 "Thanks, don't tell me again".

 Also these wordings to not make sense. "Never for this site" is incorrect
 English, especially since no question was asked in the prompt. Does this
 mean "Never return blank image again", or "Never allow again"?
