Default bowser window is unusably small on Hi-DPI screens
I use Tor in a removeable pen, sometimes on an ultrabook with a Hi-DPI display 3200x1800, and the browser window is so small that it is unusable - the diagonal of the screen is the equivalent physical size of a 4.5 inch smartphone.
My workaround is to:
- disconnect the ethernet cable
- maximize the window
- hit CTRL +++++ (zoom to 300%) so I can read the text
To continue browsing i undo those steps.
I have yet to find a website that this didn't work on, and I have no idea as to why Tor can't simply always tell websites one or two one-size-fits-all browser window sizes, and take the small risk that on some websites the info is going to be disorganized or unreadble. Zooming out or in should fix those few cases. There could even be a way to restore the correct browser window size if the information is distorted.
It would make my life much easier, and would make it much safer. The average user doesn't have the patience to do this to protect their anonimity. It's almost impossible to get through a browsing session without maximizing a window that small, especially when you blow text up so much (200-300% is readable) that the website begins to lose functionality.
thanks for the project, and the hard work. All of us depending on Tor to protect our anonimity, our freedom, and our safety appreciate it.
