 — Platform: MacOS desktop computer

 — Change the default Tor Browser 8.0.1 window size on MacOS desktop
 platforms to match the default Tor Browser 8.0.1 window sizes on Linux and
 Windows desktop platforms so that the default Tor Browser 8.0.1 window
 size is identical on MacOS, Linux, and Windows desktop platforms.

 — In the Tor Browser 8.0 upgrade from version 7.5.6, the Tor Browser team
 decreased the default Tor Browser window size on MacOS desktop platforms
 from 1000 Wide x 1000 High to 1000 Wide x 0998 High.

 — In Tor Browser 8.0 and 8.0.1, if the default Tor Browser window size on
 MacOS (1000 Wide x 0998 High) desktop platforms is smaller than the
 default Tor Browser window size on Linux (1000 Wide x 1000 High) and
 Windows (1000 Wide x 1000 High) desktop platforms, an adversary more
 easily can identify, track, and deanonymize Tor Browser 8.0.1 clients that
 are using MacOS desktop platforms.
