Known issues on browser fingerprinting don't mention uBlockOrigin
I left this as a comment in #11000 (closed) but maybe it should be its own issue? (That one is already closed so maybe nobody sees it?)
The Known Issues page has an inaccurate statement on it:
There are currently no known differences between the fingerprints of Tor Browser inside and outside of Tails.
https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html#index4h1
In truth, AdBlock Plus (and also the font issue in #11000 (closed)) make it quite easy to distinguish TBB from TBB-on-Tails.
After the next release with the fix for the font issue, would it be accurate to say “AdBlock Plus is enabled by default. If you disable it, there are currently no known differences between the fingerprints of Tor Browser inside and outside of Tails.”? (I hope that would be accurate but I don’t know.)
Meanwhile this statement should be corrected so that it is accurate for Tails 2.0.
