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.
If the browser is programmed to report a single size, then its impossible for JavaScript to determine the actual size. Because all JS would get is the same resolution. That’s the idea of the suggestion.
If the browser size is a standard size which is often tested to work with, then i don’t see it as such a big of a deal. Most sites are also resolution independent. We are no longer in 2010. Do you know any site that could break because you don’t use a specific resolution?

…and then your websites break, because you actually need to render them correctly.
…or it needs to be your actual window size, too.
