    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.
