TOR browser User Agent in Linux increases fingerprinting (programming.dev)
 

I usually use Tor Browser to scan files online for viruses, which I then send to Windows users (I use Linux) if they are clean.

Lately, I've noticed that the User Agent in TOR is showing up as Linux, when it used to show up as Windows.

Is this a problem with my system or a change made by the TOR team? The fact that Linux has far fewer users increases fingerprinting.

I'm a complete noob in the games department. Btw, I see that you don't use Arch.

In my experience, the Flatpak variant of Firefox on Linux is the swiftest among Firefox-based browsers.

In my experience, Firefox and forks are never super fast. Installed Floorp Lightning and the speed is the same as Firefox.
