Comment (by Thorin):

 https://brax.me/geo/ fingerprinting is using
 https://github.com/Valve/fingerprintjs2
  - `view-source:https://brax.me/geo/fingerprint2.js`

 There is absolutely nothing new here. I've studied this source in depth

 - webaudio is disabled in TB
 - webgl doesn't render anything: readPixels is disabled but not sure about
 on click to play: sorry: haven't keep up to date on this
 - webgl vendor & renderer are already covered
 - navigator properties reveal OS: see previous comments
 - fonts reveal OS

 Entropy within OS fonts (despite the whitelist) is covered elsewhere
