 "The conclusion is that if we set webgl.min_capability_mode and webgl
 .disable-extensions, our primary API-level fingerprinting concerns are
 addressed."

 However, I am concerned because this presumably disables security
 extensions such as GL_ARB_robustness too, making it easier for malicious
 content to cause crashes on the user's computer (some of which can lead to
 things such as remote code execution).
