Until we understand the fingerprinting implications of WebGPU and if/how we can mitigate it - we should disable it.

Surely this is Tor Browser's to flip/enforce dom.webgpu.enabled as false, not main stream Firefox, for now? I mean we don't disable webaudio or webGL APIs, so why should webGPU be any different?

PS: There are a raft of prefs/UI we could/should enforce to harden RFP against user/pref fiddling, and I do get that webGL's case is different as it is integrated with the slider (and NoScript) in Tor Browser. So I'm torn - I'm all for tightening, but is this one of those cases?

That's a good point; it probably is up to Tor Browser. I'm going to leave this open for now until I can think about it more, double check a few things, and close it.
