Description
The emojis show up as browser fingerprinting in several different browser extensions.
The issue lies in var d=k.toDataURL(); in the script block added by the emojis (block starts with window._wpemojiSettings).
Further, and more importantly, firefox is going to start prompting users when a page uses several methods associated with canvas fingerprinting (ref https://thehackernews.com/2017/10/canvas-browser-fingerprint-blocker.html).
