since you mention it, firefox has a feature where it launches with a generic predetermined window size so you blend in. even then screen resolution can only get them so far.
i’m not calling for firefox to be tor, just that everyday software must be more private too.
yes, tor uses that feature to make all users look the same, if you resize a bit your tor window that’s it. you can be identified. for fingerprinting to work every browser would need to look the same. this means no extensions, no difference in window size, same settings, etc. do you think that’s actually feasible for an everyday browser? really?
i know. but each point you touched can be improved upon. my point is that browsers are too transparent to third parties, and that’s one of the priorities.
