Comment (by cypherpunks):
Another reason which I just thought about: The argument in the Tor Browser
design documentation assumes that the user in question leaves everything
in the Tor Browser by default. But there's no guarantee for that, and in
real life many users make themselves more fingerprintable (e.g. by
changing the browser's size, ...etc). In such a case, blocking some
trackers may turn out to be beneficial, if only to prevent some trackers
from easily fingerprinting some users.
The other counter-argument that this would damage ad revenue from websites
ignores that there's only 2 million TB users, and the impact would be
relatively tiny.
