Comment:
Without having some data we can't say much about whether following option
2 is better or worse for the user's anonymity. Looking at the tickets with
users that are wondering about why their browser windows are not rounded
at all my gut tells me resizing/maximizing is far more common than
commonly thought. I'd even bet that the majority of users is actually
resizing their window as they might not understand why they should not do
it and why they should waste a lot of available screen space.
What about just closing this ticket when the patch in #14429 lands as the
user can't shoot herself in the foot anymore (and preventing this was all
the ticket was about)? If we still think we owe the users who are
maximizing their windows/trying to get them fullscreen an in-browser
explanation as it is not working as expected, then I am in favor of some
non-modal mechanism. Maybe a notification box? (I think a modal dialog
might just be annoying)
