=========================
Implementation
=========================
Checking if an object should resist fingerprinting is ideally done by referencing the `Document's ShouldResistFingerprinting <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=symbol:_ZNK7mozilla3dom8Document26ShouldResistFingerprintingENS_9RFPTargetE&redirect=false>`_ method. This is both fast and correct. In certain other situations, you may need to call some of the ``nsContentUtils::ShouldResistFingerprinting`` functions. When doing so, you should avoid calling either of the functions marked *dangerous*.
As you can see in the callgraph below, directly calling a *dangerous* function will skip some of the checks that occur further up-stack.

Exemptions and Targets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fingerprinting Resistance takes into account many things to determine if we should alter behavior:
* Whether we are the System Principal
* Whether we are a Web Extension
* Whether Fingerprinting Resistance is applied to all browsing modes or only Private Browsing Mode
* Whether the specific site you are visiting has been granted an exemption (taking into account the framing page)
* Whether the specific **activity** is granted an exemption
All callsites for ``ShouldResistFingerprinting`` take a (currently) optional ``RFPTarget`` value, which defaults to ``Unknown``. While arguments such as ``Document`` or ``nsIChannel`` provide context for the first four exemptions above, the Target provides context for the final one. A Target is a Web API or an activity - such as a Pointer Event, the Screen Orientation, or plugging a gamepad into your computer (and therefore producing a `gamepadconnected event <https://www.w3.org/TR/gamepad/#event-gamepadconnected>`_). Most Targets correlate strongly to a specific Web API, but not all do: for example whether or not to automatically reject Canvas extraction requests from third parties is a separate Target from prompting to reject canvas extraction.
In some situations we may *not* alter our behavior for a certain activity - this could be based on the fingerprinting resistance mode you are using, or per-site overrides to correct breakage. Targets are defined `RFPTargets.inc <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/resistfingerprinting/RFPTargets.inc>`_.
