Comment (by cypherpunks):

 What platforms limiting maximum window size? I know Windows since XP
 limiting window size, but allowing to bypass restrictions with some
 tricks.
 If window size limits then no fingerprinting can be done, attacker will
 request over9000 window and will get it.

 Mozilla broken limits for windows even, it happened by fix for
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783333
 It's already in current releases and will be in next ESR. Not sure if they
 wanted that, but it is.

 What do you think?
