      What do you mean? If all Firefox users report the same size, than you are one of many. That’s the point. It makes you stand out less. Off course this works only if you are not the only one that sticks out and its the default.

        this is one thing, do you understand how limiting it would make the browser? its not just window size, this is one example. and afaik if you spoof your window size you can break rendering of pages. again, you’re comprimising everyday usage. im not saying there isn’t a way at all, maybe there is, but it’s not some trivial thing, ive followed arkenfox for quite a few years and they’ve been saying the same. the amount of time it takes to make a redesign is nothing to making an unfingerprintable browser. if that’s even a thing. and remember that you cant spoof everything.

          I didn’t say that? I’m just talking about the point you were making earlier about resizing the window. You said it would imply that not being able to resize our window for example, and I just provided a possible way to do exactly that. That’s all. And then counter argued your follow up point it would contribute to make me stand out more, that it in fact would decrease the possibility to stand out, not increase.

          I’m not arguing that it would work for every webpage without breaking it, nor did I talk about the entire finger printability of a browser.

            Users report the same size, fingerprinters now ignore this. They do still use JavaScript to determine the actual size of the window, and likely your resolution along with it.
