Why isn't anybody talking about Safari disabling canvas
As a JavaScript developer I rely heavily on Canvas for my apps and games. Canvas is great. But unfortunately you can fingerprint a user with it (and with a lot of other information from the client), so because of that Safari disabled Canvas all together (if your device is configured to prevent cross site tracking). I don't think that's the right way of doing it, because a lot of important things on the web rely on Canvas. My main issue with this is that I didn't find information of any kind informing the user about this update. Now I have a lot of users giving me bad reviews on my apps because they can't use it on safari and they think it's my fault. I think Safari should at least notify they users - "this update disable canvas to prevent cross site tracking, you can re enable it by doing this..."
How many users would see "this update disables canvas" and know what the consequences of that are?
Apple doesn't care that it disabled canvas. :/ Canvas is too cross-platform for mālī tastes.
