Replying to [ticket:14098 cypherpunks]:
> I understand TBB does something to reduce the fingerprintability of the
browser window size, but apparently it isn't enough as
https://panopticlick.eff.org/ says they've never seen my screen size
before. I'm using the latest TBB on the latest debian stable with the dwm
window manager.

> Could TBB please round the size to a larger interval so that I look like
a more typical user? Thanks.
For screen size, Tor Browser reports your window size. Unless you resized
the browser window, the size should be a multiple of 100. What size was
reported by https://panopticlick.eff.org/ ?
Also see #13650.
