 it might be safer for some users not to offer the option "allow" when the
 message "attempted to extract HTML5 canvas image data" is shown. what
 would be a reason to allow a site to to extract HTML5 canvas image data
 and thereby to allow to uniquely identify the user when the reason for
 using tbb is to attempt to hide the user?
