 An interactive GUI "What not to do" guide that explains what should be
 avoided.

 A "(?)" beside a setting should explain what happens if you, for example.
 Remove all the Search Engines from the list, if that could create a unique
 fingerprint. Or changing the Default Search Engine.

 I recently figured out that the Bookmarks Toolbar was changing my Window
 Size without me knowing. That I have been using on websites for months.
 Changing the Bookmarks/History to a popup window would be better maybe? Or
 simply have the blank page after opening a new tab contain all your
 bookmarks.
