 > **Please advise**: I was going to open another ticket when I had done
 some more testing, but **readPixels** is not covered by RFP (see
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1428034 ) and using my tests
 [1], on windows I get entropy. Not sure if unique or just OS.

 Yes, could you please open another ticket for the `readPixels` issue? I
 wonder what version you tested with in
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1428034#c7. Given that it is
 from a month ago and we did not change anything substantially for a while
 now regarding our WebGL fingerprinting behavior that's a bit puzzling (we
 removed WebGL only as click-to-play from default Tor Browser mode).

 Interestingly, I get your macOS one on one of my Linux boxes.
