Comment (by cypherpunks): > Have some kind of prompt for the user to choose between common browser content window sizes That would allow easier fingerprinting. It's not just about your results on panopticlick, if there's only one Tor user who regularly visits some evil site foo.com and his browser size is always unique and differs from the TB standard, then he's easily fingerprintable. > Default to the largest common browser window size, and on resize snap the window size to other common browser content window resolutions Not everyone has 4K monitors, most folks are still on on 1366x768 and 1920x1080 https://hardware.metrics.mozilla.com/ -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25451#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
