 On TBB 9.0.5, "standard" security, using PrivacyPass 2.0.4, on Ubuntu
 18.04 when I try to get passes I get a long sequence of Captcha's to
 solve. Eventually it stops serving Captcha's and I get a green check mark
 as if I had passed, but the extension still shows no passes acquired.

 In Firefox on the same machine, using Tor naively through a socks proxy,
 Privacy Pass WAI. This seems to support that the issue is specific to TBB
 rather than PrivacyPass / Cloudflare's treatment of Tor traffic itself.

 See also the PrivacyPass bug https://github.com/privacypass/challenge-
 bypass-extension/issues/99 for this issue. Also possibly-related bug that
 PrivacyPass doesn't work when the browser spoofs the user-agent string:
