> Changing circuit for page with error switches catch-all circuit instead
The page with error usually is `about:*`, so that's technically correct to
switch its circuit (catch-all), but it's not what is expected. If some
error page is caused by bad circuit, then it's necessary to change it, but
it's impossible. Thus, `tbb-usability-website`.
TBB has no feature to remove linkability by switching circuits, everything
is perfectly linkable by cookies.
