Comment (by gacar):

 Resizing your Tor Browser windows is safe, unless you resize it to the
 same dimensions every time (e.g. maximizing). Although the Panopticlick
 reports that your screen dimensions are unique, this cannot be used to
 recognize your browser, unless it exhibits the same dimensions on every
 session.
