    TinEye seems to have no problem with this. It seems weird to argue that something that doesn’t work on every browser should be used because the alternative doesn’t work on every browser.
    
    Google could easily do both. Using JS if canvas fails.

    librewolf has canvas turned off, because it’s fingerprintable. it’s still in the firefox codebase. all major browsers support canvas and have for more than 10 years.
    
    also, canvas is literally a JS API what are you talking about
