 - nits?: Letterboxing helps prevent screen and window fingerprinting by
 adding light or dark theme margins to the browser window.
    * added window, it's not just screen
    * added the themed color upcoming change
    * removed redundant words = shorter and maybe sweeter :)
 - learn more?: maybe https://support.torproject.org/tbb/maximized-
 torbrowser-window/

 I feel the above link content could possibly be improved: "white" margins
 aside, e.g. recommendation that users stay at the opened size (the biggest
 bucket), but that if their threat model
 (https://2019.www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en) allows it, resize
 for usability (and maybe mix it up: try different sizes in different
 windows, on different days).
