 Ubuntu Unity automatically maximizes Tor Browser if the program tries to
 open its content window at a size equal to or greater than 75% of the
 total screen area. This includes occasions when the user clicks 'New
 Identity'. This exposes the user's real monitor dimensions to visited
 websites and third parties.

 A workaround is to install and run compizconfig-settings-manager, navigate
 to 'Ubuntu Unity Plugin', then set the 'Automaximize Value' to 100%. After
 a restart, TBB behaves as it should: requesting a new identity, even after
 maximizing the window, causes the new window to open at a multiple of
 200x100.
