I agree with everything Maxime wrote here.  For an in-depth discussion
of the relevant issues, please see:

  <https://2019.www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/>

Regarding this specific issue, see the "Sources of Fingerprinting
Issues" subsection of section 4.6 (Cross-Origin Fingerprinting
Unlinkability) of the document above.

      Thanks,
        Mark
