The way and what you type, how you move your mouse, when you browse…

Think we can make things more difficult, but just assume tracked everywhere. Won’t know about browser privacy 0days either for who knows how long.

Some stuff has to be reported accurately for stuff to work well, like screen size. Other stuff can be and is faked, even by Apple out of the box I’m pretty sure.

Not my area of expertise :)

Ah yes, CSS, the famously serverside technology

CDNs serve different sizes accordingly I thought? Sometimes. Deliver pages faster without noticeable image compression. Don’t some large sites do this all the time? Based on viewport size

I don't know but I want a browser layer that lies about it and then renders the page in a way that doesn't send back more information, and I think it would probably work and only be slightly buggy.

Yes, I want to appear to be using the same device as like anyone. Think that’s rather Tor’s philosophy.
