Comment:

 See https://blog.torproject.org/blog/effs-panopticlick-and-torbutton. This
 is not a bug, but I will leave this bug open with a really low priority to
 prevent the inevitable endless barrage of dups.

 See also #1282, which is a feature request to handle this slightly
 differently. We may end up just wanting to give in and report a common
 desktop resolution like I say in that bug. Too many people see EFFs page
 and get confused. We probably should just splinter the anonymity sets
 slightly.
