Comment:

 > 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.
