Comment:

 This is the default fingerprinting defense. There is nothing to fix from
 the browser's side.

 Workarounds are:
 1. reduce screen resolution (quick, but "converts" Hi-DPI into standard
 DPI)
 2. use "magnifying glass"
 3. use "helper" that doubles or triples the app's size on the screen (but
 doesn't change detectable resolution as your workarounds)
