      Yes, but with a few caveats. Last time I used the ‘Resist Fingerprinting’ option, it made window resizing funky and some sites flat out rendered wrong.
      It needs some polish and some user controls.

        That’s the tradeoff you have to make. Your window size is a good fingerprint, so spoofing the size makes sense. But websites that need to window size for legitimate reasons are breaking.

        How else could it be? The window size directly identifies you AND determines the page layout.
