You can go to
https://arthuredelstein.github.io/tordemos/media-query-fingerprint.html and
see what your browser reveals about your screen size.
Probably every browser (with default settings) except tor-browser will reveal
your screen size totally independent of your actual browser window
One thing you could do to prevent such accidental data loss
in the future is changing the default behaviour of the rm command for example
with aliases.
This is what i have in my /etc/bash.bashrc to do this job:
alias rm='rm -div'
alias rrm='\rm -IRv'
alias mv='mv -iv'
alias cp='cp -iv'
My suggestion with the option 'timestamp_timeout' is only for sudo
timestamp...
...just to clarify my last post.
If i get what you want you should run the command...
man 5 sudoers
...there you should read the explanation for following sudoers option:
timestamp_timeout
But for sure feel free to ask here again
if that leaves questions for your problem!! ;)
Just for the sake of completeness...
... i have one thing to add to the few last posts:
IceCat's ability to prevent fingerprinting is already very good compared to
other firefox-like-web-browsers.
You can compare different installed browsers using this site:

Yes it's eventually a bit confusing because i used the word "install".
The only thing you need to do is extract the archiv:
$tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-4.5.2_en-US.tar.xz
Make sure to write the right name for the .tar.xz file
After you untar the archiv change in the new directory
but related to all things "install" and run tor-browser the right way i
really recommend to read the documentation of the torproject:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation.html.en
Magic Banana's method can't work because of the need to start the
"start-tor-browser.desktop" - file from inside the "$HOME/tor-browser_en-US/"
- directory and his solution relies on the full path.
Just look above again and you'll see what the start-script does.
The xdg-settings part should
Magic Banana's solution works too.
But one strange thing to note:
If i set it the way as suggested by you it isn't possible to start the
browser via...
$x-www-browser
...or...
$gnome-www-browser
both commands just bring up this message -->
/usr/bin/env: ./Browser/execdesktop:
short followup:
I just realized that it isn't possible to start TBB with the full path
name...
$/home/username/tor-browser_en-US/start-tor-browser.desktop
...
/usr/bin/env: ./Browser/execdesktop: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
You can only run the browser if you change into the
@Magic Banana:
Seems to be a very nice way of simplifying the whole procedure... i'll
definitively give it a try.
I've done this little start script a long time before doing this
default-browser-thing explained here (just for easier launching the program
from terminal), so i didn't come
Just the best time now for me to answer that question, because just a few
days ago i set the Tor-Browser-Bundle (TBB) as my default webbrowser :)
1. to know how to install TBB on GNU/Linux read the short install-info:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en#linux
...very simple
It might well be that this is a Trisquel-inbuilt-warning-message because of
these
ati-/radeon-packages and it has nothing to do with your authentication,
keyring or something else
but i'm not sure about that.
My answer is just speculation!
