Comment:

 Thanks gk, understood. In that case, I believe that such a toggle is
 absolutely appropriate in the dialog area just above the Security Slider
 in "Privacy & Security Settings..." as an additional checkbox.

 I propose that the box's description should read "Disable HTML5 Canvas
 content."

 Further comments welcome.
