Comment (by cypherpunks_reply):

 mitmflare does detect tor browser, this is not new (it has nothing to do
 with the mentioned alt-svc-based onion redirections), it exists since at
 least tor browser 7.x

 and it's not a trivial detection (like just the value of request headers),
 their fingerprint includes much more, it likely goes to the tls level,
 possibly to the tcp level

 if anyone knows details, I want to read them, thanks
