How do you turn on canvas randomisation in Firefox? I can't seem to find anything about it.
I found this in about:config, defaults to true apparently:
privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomDataOnCanvasExtractBut you have to enable
privacy.resistFingerprintingfor it to work first. I enabled that and now the EFF test says "randomized" for the hashes but also Lemmy went from dark to light theme somehow.
