Comment (by rah):

 Hi all,

 I've created an initial patch, attached.  This is following the strategy
 described in entry 15, Timing-based Side Channels, of the "Specific
 Fingerprinting Defenses in the Tor Browser" list under section 4.6, Cross-
 Origin Fingerprinting Unlinkability, of The Design and Implementation of
 the Tor Browser:

 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#fingerprinting-
 linkability

 The patch is against the tor-browser-52.2.0esr-7.5-1 branch.  I've created
 a small HTML document for testing, also attached.  However, as noted
 [comment:3 above], this functionality is only exposed in Firefox Nightly
 and the test HTML reports that document.timeline is not defined when run
 in the tor-browser branch.

 I'm wondering whether there is a simple switch to activate this
 functionality in the tor-browser branch?  Or is it a matter of the code
 not being there yet?

 Thanks,

 Bob Ham
