Comment:

 Note that Tor Browser configures its Tor in a nonstandard way, by using
 the socks isolation feature to separate each socks request (browser tab)
 to a different circuit.

 I suggest you start by taking a standard Tor, run by itself and not as
 part of Tor Browser, and see if TrackHostExits works for you there. (It
 looks like you're on Windows? In that case you probably want the Windows
 Expert Bundle.)

 If using it on a vanilla Tor works, then the bug is that TrackHostExits
 and IsolateSOCKSAuth don't play well together, and maybe we fix it by
 documenting the difference better, or maybe there's some better fix.
