Week of March 25, 2019

Discussion: - adjusting meeting time (eu is doing the daylight saving thing the coming weekend) (GeKo: We'll switch to 17:30 UTC as our meeting time; I'll announce that on tbb-dev later this week) - blockers for 8.5 (GeKo: We restructured our `tbb-8.5` tickets so that it is clearly visible what are blockers for the next alpha (`tbb-8.5-must-alpha`) and what are blockers for the stable release (`tbb-8.5-must`)) - Letterboxing (GeKo: We'll get around June to help with that and test on esr60 already)

tjr - investigated getClientRects. The finding indicate that there are active fingerprinting issues from this and similar APIs that leak at least major OS version (win7 vs win10) and some OS settings. I don't *think* it's used by ad network fingerprinting (yet?) though. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1507879 - Investigated math routines. Confirmed these leak at least major OS version, maybe minor. On Linux it probably leaks distro or system libraries Don't think it leaks hardware information - Investigated chrome:// leak. Confirmed it leaks OS and browser version. Don't think it leaks anything else except maybe language
