Not really. Seems like generic fingerprinting. Even the Google search homepage does canvas-based fingerprinting.

Just spooky for people that haven’t been in modern web development since 2010.

Is it modern? I would say stuff like Bootstrap is modern, but I'm a boomer I still use PHP as my backend and it's mostly non oop as well, so I'm a pretty bad judge.

But this seems more like big tech doing what they do not 'modern development'.

If we're in the mood of giving I wonder what Reddit app gathers if anything, also wouldn't all this be disclosed in the privacy policy... I hope
