[ux] Communicating Window Resize Danger

[Antonela Debiasi]

Hey,

Those are good ticket references.

The ttb team has been working on this concept for a while

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1330882
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14429

It is really cool. Hopefully, we will have it running at Tor Browser at
some point.

Thanks for bringing this topic to the list!
