Feature Request: Hide/Fake screen resolution.

[clort81]

A common fingerprinting identifier is browsers reporting the user's screen resolution and bit depth. This is not the browser window resolution, and there's no need for the web server to know it to format text appropriately.

Running a browser on an unusual device or nested X server resolution will expose fingerprinting information to websites.

Firefox anti-fingerprinting fails to fake screen resolution to a commonly used resolution (e.g. 1920x1080).

Could Privacy Possum be enhanced to report fake screen resolution? Browser gurus, please chime-in with your comments.

Thank you

I meant comments pertinent to the issue I raised.

How do I hide the fake resolution? And how is it fake if you can see it. It must have another purpose that isn't very helpful to me huh
