You absolutely can be tracked by screen resolution, especially when using a monitor with unusual resolution (few years ago I was still using 1440x900 so I understand this well). I just don't understand how this specific change would help prevent that.
At one point, years ago, they were talking about removing the screen resolution entirely, and just make it a copy of the window size values instead.
Guessing it broke too much stuff, since it seemed like a nice idea but never eventuated.
Is that why the Surface 7 has such an oddball resolution of 2304x1536?
