 > Oh, and a last note: I don't think Tor Browser even says it's trying to
 blend with other browsers at this point. The goal of Tor Browser is to
 make all the Tor Browser users have the same fingerprint (as each other).
 So changing it for all of them would be fine on that front.

 Something to consider is the websites that complain when they see a User-
 Agent from a browser they don't know, claiming they are not compatible.
 But adding a new word in addition to the ones we currently have in the
 User-Agent is probably fine for this.
