I was interested in hearing what they did to prevent fingerprinting with regards to things like window size, but it seems like they just discourage the user from changing it :( It looks like this isn't going to be improved anytime soon.

I would love a button or menu action to RESET my window to the standard size in regular Firefox but so far I can’t find any easy way to do it. You’d think an extension would do it but when I checked, all the extensions related to window size did different things.

I guess some window managers like i3wm let you do just that.

If you're on a Mac, Moom (https://manytricks.com/moom/) can do this.

One issue is that with a tiling WM you have little choice about the window dimensions.

I'd love for fingerprinting-resistant browsers to either lie, or scroll a viewport.
