add new section on anti-fingerprinting

ebanam requested to merge ebanam/manual:166-add-anti-fingerprinting-section into main

ref: #166 (closed)

  1. Adding a new section "Anti-fingerprinting" to the Tor Browser User Manual.
  2. Correcting some of the keys as defined in the content of each section. The new order of sections will be (I think is good but we can change. Let me know!):
1. About Tor Browser
2. Downloading
3. Installation
4. Running Tor Browser for the First Time
5. Anti-fingerprinting
6. Circumvention
7. Bridges
8. Managing Identities
9. Onion Services
10. Secure Connections
11. Security Settings
12. Troubleshooting
13. Updating
14. Plugins, Add-ons and JavaScript
15. Uninstalling
16. Mobile Tor
17. Known Issues
18. Make Tor Browser Portable
19. Support
  1. I have added a brief description of "Browser fingerprinting" using sources 0, 1, 2
  2. My approach is to 1) define browser fingerprinting, 2) how it threatens and affects privacy and anonymity (literally borrowing text from source 1) and 3) how Tor Browser mitigates browser fingerprinting.
  3. I was following the discussion about rephrasing "screen sizes" in the original ticket about Letterboxing changes. For now I am keeping it to "screen sizes" as we have in the Support Portal and also to retain strings for l10n, but we can always change this later.
  4. Created the screenshot with the new Letterboxing UI.
 <h3 id="letterboxing">Letterboxing</h3>
  1. I am using the html tag so it is easier to create the link from "Learn More" section in Tor Browser interface i.e. about:manual#letterboxing
