Comment (by nah):

 I just made step-by-step on the Letterboxing (with the current and alpha
 Tor version) and when I was browsing, I got as confused as the other
 users. When I went to #32325 and I was relief to see I could disable
 Letterboxing. TBH, even though I understand the security reasons to use
 it, it's kinda annoying to have a scrolling bar during the whole browsing
 (I'm attaching a printscreen).

 However, I think having an onboarding (or a Gif /me loves gif) explaining
 the screen fingerprint and how Letterboxing avoids it, would make a
 difference.

 Example:::

 WHAT DOES YOUR SCREEN TELL ABOUT YOU?

 FINGERPRINT
 measure - model number - review specifications of your screen
 --
 Now you don't have to resize your screen, with the Letterboxing every
 screen has the same specifications
 --
 We don't recommend, but you can disable Letterboxing on your config.
