The goal of the Tor browser is not to be identified (any website can tell your using Tor) but rather to make all Tor users look the same. If you are that concerned about canvasses and JavaScript in general, just disable it. | |

REF: "If the user hasn't previously allowed the site in the URL bar to access Canvas image data, pure white image data is returned to the Javascript APIs." | |
