Comment (by adam.greenblatt):

 Using an unusual screen resolution was sufficient to identify me uniquely
 to panopticlick.  With my portrait mode screen resolution of 1200 wide by
 1920 high, the default window size of 1000x1765 was unique, no resizing or
 maximizing needed.

 Perhaps the default should be whichever "standard" size is most common in
 the wild, regardless of the underlying screen resolution?

 Better still would be to report said standard size regardless of the
 actual size, and let people freely resize and zoom (see #9189) with
 anonymity.  But that's probably hard ;-)
