With javascript enabled, websites can know If you use linux or windows. In my opinion, this is more information than a website should have.
As a linux user, I visited panopticlick.eff.org and did the browser fingerprint test. The results revealed my platform to be "Linux x86_64".
Is there a way that Tor devs can make Tor browser spoof this value to be the same for all users or random, regardless of OS?
No, not easily. There is the semi-easy OS leak in the web API where Tor Browser provides the correct OS in |navigator.useragent|.
So addons that change the user agent should be enough, right? Or if not that, why would setting the about:config value devtools.responsive.userAgent not be sufficient? -- Anton Luka Šijanec https://šijanec.eu/ +38 6 64/176-345 anton@sijanec.eu (mail, xmpp & sip) https://šijanec.eu/pgp-key.txt?F4C3E3A4DFB7254397A9F993E76135F49802CD14
