> make all Tor Browser users as uniform as possible
Yes, Tor users should be uniform: between each other and among users of
"real" browsers.
Until a certain time, the browser **asked to change the resolution** in
order to "hide"... But more information for fingerprints won't "hide"
anyone.
I'm not sure about current or latests versions.
