!important new behavior in this version
TBB 8 leaks the browser User Agent
by design (reveals the machine's true os on purpose), for reason x, ppl are complaining about it, it might get reverted or not
If you want to add a manual fake User Agent
1. Open a new tab
2. paste
about:config
and hit enter
3. Press Accept the risk button
You will add a new Preference
4. Search for
useragent
and see if you find the Preference Name
general.useragent.override
It wont be there, so we'll add one
5. Right click on an empty area and click on
New > String
6. Enter the Preference Name
general.useragent.override
7. Enter the String value of a User Agent
User Agent is usually in this format
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; SM-G935S Build/MMB29K; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/55.0.2883.91 Mobile Safari/537.36
, you will need to input the whole thing, I wont tell you which one to use for your sec reasons, as a ref the previous version's default value was that of a windows machine using chrome, search here for one
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=user+agent+list&ia=web, don't pick one of a rare device or old version as that will
increase your fingerprint
re the post above about different resolutions, it's not a feature, that's a bug
