This blog post is filled with false assumptions.

This is false. I ran firefox with:

* hardware acceleration disabled (so software renderer, nothing to fingerprint)

* resistfingerprinting enabled, including letterboxing with default window size

* webgl disabled

* VPN enabled

* In a Windows VM

By all accounts this should be the most suspicious fingerprint ever, but turnstile happily lets me through. If they want to track people, they're doing a pretty bad job. My guess is that OP's browser is getting banned because his WebKitGTK has a weird fingerprint, not because of webgl or whatever.

> Such things are blocked in WebKit, and have been for years. Meaning it's tracking so awful that even Apple would block it, and as far as I can tell it's not the kind of privacy protection you can easily disable in it.

This is also false. Webgl fingerprinting works just fine on Safari. They might try to mitigate it by adding some noise, but that's not so different than what firefox does, and is certainly not "blocked".
