Doesn't tor randomise the window size on startup? Though I guess it chooses some sensible size for your screen which is then leaking info about your screen size (in a pretty indirect way).
- privateprofile 7y agoThat's false. Tor Browser actually advises the user to keep the window at the default size to avoid it being used as a fingerprinting vector.
- abdullahkhalids 7y agoNot quite correct. It automatically picks the browser window size based on the monitor its being displayed on, in some multiple of 200x100. There is no randomization on every run. https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/15705/why-does-tor-browser-screen-size-vary-across-monitors https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/15705/why-does-tor-b...
