  • The available screen resolution is the screen height minus 48 pixels.

Isn’t it pointless to change all device screens from their constant size of 1,080 to a reported size of 1,080 - 48 or (whatever x,xxx - 48)?

Why not report x,xxx as random # ? Or does that start to identify more than make one blend in?

    The more unique it is, the more easy to find you. That's why anti-fingerprinting is a problem because removing tracking makes you more unique compared to millions of devices with the same data tracked.

    That would make you more fingerprint able. The idea is to make more computers look the same, not make you unique.

    They're saying that they don't tell the site the size of the browser window, but the screen size minus a reasonable margin for the toolbar and stuff
