I find WebGL driveby risk and fingerprinting risks remote and hard to compare. To wit, I've never experienced a recognized loss from any kind of drive-by or fingerprinting attack.

However the severity of drive-by risk is so high, just in theory, that I am tempted to dismiss the risk of fingerprinting. But my reasoning is not very well informed.

What principles and information sources do you use when deciding that avoiding fingerprinting is more important than avoiding WebGL drivebys?
