Comment (by tom):
To answer your question from irc, pospeselr: If the canvas extraction
isn't trigger by user input, you should see an icon in the url bar but no
doorhanger. Once it's triggered from user input - doorhanger appears. I
made https://ritter.vg/misc/ff/canvas.html for simple testing.
This assumes
privacy.resistFingerprinting.autoDeclineNoUserInputCanvasPrompts is 'true'
(in Tor Browser currently it is false).
This ticket is probably still valid, I hope that this improvement is
enough for Tor to consider flipping it back to 'true'. (Which I think is a
better overall experience, even if it does make WhatsApp more confusing?)
