Comment (by huertanix):
I should point out that in training journalists and others in using Tor
Browser, almost none notice the current warning when they resize or
maximize their window.
Since browser fingerprinting, as far as I know with my admittedly dusty
JavaScript knowledge, can happen the moment a browser is resized,
something more in-your-face might be more appropriate; e.g. a JS prompt
that intercepts the window resize action and prompts the user to either
click OK and resize or Cancel and not resize, with a short warning on why
resizing can be unsafe.
