Comment:
This is not a bug. There are far, far worse tracking vectors in the open
at the moment. If you keep javascript disabled, the scrollbars
disappearing or not definitely cannot be detected. Merely enabling
javascript access (even with the many good modifications the TorProject
has made to Mozilla's code) provides opens up so many APIs that it is very
difficult to prevent getting tracked - the DOM sucks. Leaving the macOS
default for scrollbars is probably the best choice.
If I am being harsh here, please provide more detail and evidence to show
that this actually is a serious tracking vector when weighed against all
other javascript-related tracking vectors in the wild. Otherwise, adding
these kinds of bugs only clogs the bug tracker.
