New description: We give users an option to hide their locale and say they are using en-US as to decrease their fingerprint, but once in a while we can see some information may be leaked (ref: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=!closed&keywords =~tbb-fingerprinting-locale). I wonder if we should let users know about this? Looking at the stats, specially the smaller numbers in Update pings at https://metrics.torproject.org/webstats-tb-locale.csv I wonder if maybe we should make users aware somehow about this? For example when in the download page: warning: you are using a locale used by very few people and there are a couple of ways in which your locale may be leaked. it sounds awful for a new translation to be published and get that, though :S -- -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32602#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
