       TIL that #CSS media queries can be used to track user screen size when they click a linkhttps://jsfiddle.net/fh8Law7q/@alcinnz @Wolf480pl

       @kodedninja @Shamar @alcinnz looks like it relies on the browser lazily loading url()s mentioned in CSS. We could probably easily avoid it by loading all of them at page load, even if they're not needed.

       @Wolf480pl @kodedninja @Shamar I think browsers used to do just that, but found the waste of bandwidth to be too large on mobile. Where it really matters.So maybe to balance those concerns we could fix this so it could only track a cruder set of screen sizes?

       @alcinnz @kodedninja @Shamar I don't like the idea of limiting the granularity of screen size checks.The corporate trend of designing 2 versions of website: one for mobile, and one for desktop, and not considering any other sizes, is disgusting.Besides, even if you only allow telling apart the screen sizes that are often used, I think it'll still be enough of a privacy leak.

       @alcinnz @kodedninja @Shamar Maybe we should check what Tor Browser does here.

       @alcinnz @kodedninja @Shamar Also:When I was making my blog responsive, I used ffox's "responsive view" to check how my website looks at _every_ width up to 3000sth. I started with something really wide, and then slowly shrank it until it broke, then added a media query at exact width it broke, then kept shrinking, until I got to 256px.I think this is a more correct way of making responsive websites, and we should encourage it, as opposed to optimizing only for certain widely used devices.
