Comment (by toruser314159):

 Sorry for posting on this issue then, I guess I didn't search well enough.

 I'm left wondering why torbrowser allows me to maximise or resize my
 window if it completely annihilates all anonymity. After randomly resizing
 (not even maximising) panopticlick immediately reported that my browser is
 unique among all the tested browsers.

 So what is all this rounding code actually about? Only the initial window
 at startup?

 Anyway, thanks for developing torbrowser. It's so much easier to use tor
 than it was some years ago!
