Comment (by cypherpunks): Replying to [comment:4 arthuredelstein]: > Having the same user agent is probably unnecessary in most cases, because it's probably impossible to make another browser (except maybe Firefox and derivatives) otherwise indistinguishable from Tor Browser. That's not the goal with that, and it doesn't disprove that it shouldn't be made (it's rather to make it more difficult for naive tracking - imagine a situation in which a single site with a small number of visitors who is also visited by one TB user, one Firefox user with Tor mode, and one Brave user with Tor mode, and there's someone looking at the logs trying to distinguish them). I should point out that the user agent is only one component of it, the more general thing is to make the header uniform.`*` FWIW I think the classification, if done as you suggest in a checklist form, should be divided into necessary and unnecessary (with strongly recommended and preferable sub-categories). _ `*` : For example, for Firefox in private browsing (I assume that's where the Tor mode may be based off) the default behavior is to send `DNT=1` in the header. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23446#comment:6> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
