 People are using the Tor that comes with TBB for other stuff than Tor
 Browser traffic (onionshare etc.).

 As long as #3455 is not implemented, please consider setting a default (or
 random?) socks auth, unless the TOR_SOCKS_AUTH env variable is set.

 Tor would notice it thanks to IsolateSOCKSAuth and all Tor Browser traffic
 would go through its own circuit.
