> I have a few extra addons in my Tor Browser (8.0) install, but this
doesn't work for me even with all of them disabled and JS enabled. It
simply displays all 3 OS names simultaneously. It makes no network
requests beyond the initial page loading either.
This trick is defeated by disabling external fonts, for example enabling
`noscript.forbidFonts` in NoScript 5, which is something Tor Browser
should always have done, to hell with the broken sites and their users.
