Seems like using a viewport size of 1024x768 would be less unique (and thus better resist fingerprinting) than exactly 1000x1000.


Presumably the idea is that other features of fingerprinting resistance (eg. UTC time zone, missing performance data) is already going to make it painfully obvious that you have it enabled, so there's no point disguising that data point. The only thing that using 1024x768 would help is against naive analytics scripts.
