When using the tor browser, on is warned that maximising the window 'can
allow websites to determine your monitor size, which can be used to track
you' and one is further advised to leave the 'browser windows in their
original default size'.
I suppose that when most people use the same windows size, it is harder for a
website to identify your machine.
Since the tor browser does not give you a warning if you enlarge the window
from its default size, I suppose that not maximising is perhaps not as good
as keeping the default size, but not as bad as revealing your displays
maximum size. Is that right? Does the browser reveal if the window size
resembles the maximum size of the display?
Would it be possible to make e.g. Abrowser not able to maximise fully but
only into e.g maximum screen size minus 3%? And would that help guard the
users privacy?
