I realize it's an important notice so that people understand what anonymity they may be giving up by performing the action, but if I'm on a website that I've more or less accepted, and maybe even created a login and posted on (like this website) then I've already given up an amount of personal information such that also giving my screen size seems a bit insignificant.

The broadcast of my window size is something I'm not gong to forget. Can I turn the incessant warning off?

I'll just double-click on top bar to minimize again, if I want to leave this site and get back to super-stealth-mode for additional surfing.

I'm at the current v.5.0.4.

  • ...and when you logged in to "real world" accounts and given some personal information, why you are using tor then?

    it is definitely not my business why you are using Tor! - i just wanted to point out, the more customizations you make the less effective TBB is working... and logging into real world account (or even if you just logged into a account once without Tor) you can be deanonymised!

    @DJCrashdummy - You yourself are allowing temporary access (via NoScript) and Logging Into this website with a “real” email you have access to, as we as all who post here using Tor. I do not think my threat model requires me to hide my screen size since I've already identified myself. Do you? So once I'm on this site, I can F11 or double-click the top-bar to maximize, and I don't want to be told every time I'm a bad boy for doing it – but mostly I don't want the extra effort to clear the message EVERY TIME. I won't do that, however, for general surfing. Makin' sense now? - cheers

Type: About:config in the address bar.

Search for the string: extensions.torbutton.maximize_warnings_remaining

Right-click it, and select 'edit', set the value to '0', it will then list the parameter as 'user set', next time you start tor browser and maximize it - it will not show the warning.
