 Given FLAG_SECURE is true, a screenshot cannot be taken by normal means.
 However if you hold down the home button to activate the inbuilt Google
 Assistant and click on the 'Share Screenshot' button, a screenshot can be
 captured successfully.

 This totally circumvents the privacy protection of not being able to
 capture screen while in Tor Browser.
