Further: the Canvas API doesn’t have any requirements on rendering accuracy.

By deferring to the GPU, font library, etc, tracking code can generate an image that is in most cases unique to your machine.

So blocking the Canvas API would return a 0. Which is less unique than what it would be normally.
