Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > I don't think many (most?) Tor Browser users really know their requests
 when using an Android device are distinguishable from a request coming
 from a desktop platform
 That's a pretty important detail.
 Perhaps the option could be moved to the "Security Settings" menu (and
 made persistent) instead, or it could even be automatically activated when
 using the "Safest" security level? Though I'm not sure if that would
 complicate things with Torbutton.
