 In tor browser on ubuntu, certain websites can tell that I'm on linux even
 though they theoretically should think I'm on windows.  Example:
 google.com/chrome, when selecting to download chrome, the linux download
 is selected automatically, even though I would expect the windows download
 to be selected, due to the UA atring.
