 when i maximize Tor to fullscreen, i get the message about leaving Tor at
 original size to prevent being tracked by my browser window size etc. when
 its fullscreen.

 The problem is, by default the Tor window is not ideal for most pages
 display, so i still always need to increase the width of the window.

 Would there not be a way to have a random size fullscreen mode, that just
 deducts a few pixels from actual fullscreen resolution,
 say minus a random number between 1-50 pixels, so it gives a different
 browser window size each time.

 not sure if i explain clear enough but i am sure you will get the picture
 for example (without taking taskbars into account)
 actual screen size 1920 x 1080
 click Tor maximize
 Tor expands to 1883 x 1062
 click minimize then maximize again
 and tor expands to 1907 x 1054

 something like that,
 this would allow users to have nearly fullscreen use, whilst always
 providing random browser window size to prevent tracking
