Almost always, maybe I'm weird like that...
>"Your window decorations, desktop environment"
For most people the signal that gets through will be "windows" or "mac". Anybody else may benefit from sending the "window geometry typically used by the tor browser but not coming from a known tor exit node" signal. Maybe.

That an interesting point, does enabling or disabling the bookmarks toolbar trigger the window geometry nag dialog in the Tor Browser bundle?
- jstanley 8y ago> Almost always, maybe I'm weird like that... Right, so you're definitely producing a very unusual fingerprint in terms of browser dimensions. Yours is exactly the kind of use case that the Tor browser nag popup is supposed to help.
- darkpuma 8y agoI wager my "fullscreen on a particular mac" signal is less unique than the "tor browser bundle size but not coming from a tor exit node" signal. Because what browser other than the tor browser uses that geometry? And how many people using that geometry aren't coming through a known tor exit node? I wager the haystack you'd be putting yourself in by doing this is vanishingly small.
