Tor Browser Meeting Notes
Monday August 20, 2018
Discussion:
-tommy: Tor Browser for small businesses
-reminder: sessions for Mexico
- Mozilla viewport size quantization: https://bugzil.la/1407366
- viewport fingerprinting for mobile (igt0: I know sysrqb opened a
bug, I wonder if we fix it for mobile, it will make the sites terrible)
(GeKo: That's #27083. Let's discuss the drawbacks/improvements compared
to our current solution there, in general I think mobile is no
showstopper here)
