 TBB has a lot of places with this warning, e.g. while fetching
 `RecommendedTBBVersions`, so what?

 But it looked like yours :)

 If `getinfo circuit-status` doesn't lie, the request does go over the
 catch-all circuit, even though without any username/password isolation at
 all.

 This is another one recent crap from HTTPSE: it look like it was developed
 as a virus or without security audit at all. Is it suitable for TBB?

 (Also it is doing 3 requests in a row to `check.torproject.org`, on
 `NEWNYM` too.)
