Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:2 phobos]:
 > How is this different from #4238?

 #4238 is for users who already have TBB.  This is for new users, who leak
 their location in their source IP address and their platform in the User-
 Agent header (and some corresponding variable accessible to JavaScript).

 > In any case, same comment, couldn't we just add a 32-bit/64-bit option
 to the download for linux users?

 #4231 needs to be fixed anyway, in case the autodetection recommends the
 wrong bundle.

 > same situation with windows users too.

 No. 32-bit TBB for Windows packages work on 64-bit Windows, so we don't
 need to ship a 64-bit TBB for Windows (and we don't ship one).
