#20654: Language detection IPv6
------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: Chuqui | Owner: tbb-team
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Low | Milestone:
Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version:
Severity: Major | Keywords: location IPv6
| language
Actual Points: | Parent ID:

------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Sites can easily detect location/language settings. Changing browser
language doesn't help, but switching IPv6 off in Mozilla settings helps
somewhat. The site sometimes picks that last but one location instead of
the outlet.
Tested with:
Tor 6.0.5 German standard settings
play.google.com
comment: disabling IPv6 is easy, but the site still does not use language
of exit node but the one before.
