Then a .onion gave me the same canvas popup, which seemed weird.

I do get the same popup too but I never allow it. Sorry for not reporting this.

It looks like https://duckduckgo.com/ and http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onionboth use JS code that calls canvas.getContext("2d").getImageData(). Search for getImageData in https://duckduckgo.com/d1050.js. I guess someone is trying to determine if font smoothing is being used by the browser; I can't say why.

But that is what is triggering the prompt.

I get this popup a lot on youtube too.
