Currently, the Tor Browser design document [1] mentions that the window
size for new windows is capped at 1000 px in each direction:

I am wondering if the maximum safe width of a TBB window should be
increased to 1200 px at some point. Currently, majority of desktop
screen sizes seem to be 1200+:

This would make people with screen resolutions like 1024x768 stand out,
but may hopefully make those who are on 1200+ use the default size more
often and maximize/resize less.

What do others think?
