 While at https://check.torproject.org/, noticed the "JavaScript is
 enabled" at the bottom of the page. Double checked slider under Security
 Settings, still set to safest. Clicked relay search and checked a few
 other websites, sure enough, JavaScript is enabled. Hmm. Deleted app,
 downloaded .apk from Tor website 'tor-browser-8.5a11-android-armv7-multi',
 same issue. This issue started after a "factory data reset". Before that,
 no problems. Running Android version 7.0 . and NetGuard 2.238. Before
 using Tor Browser for Android, using Orfox/Orbot and NetGuard would not
 play well together, but over a month of  Tor Browser for Android and no
 problems until now. Thoughts?
