> What exactly is the tracking vector here? Note as well, that there is no
single exit relay that gets all the user's browser traffic to see as the
content loaded and the exit used is bound to the URL bar domain.
Indeed, it's only the header which is uniform for all TBB users (apart
from the referrer), and thanks for pointing to TBB's stream isolation, I
didn't realize that arma's blog post was written before it was implemented
in the TBB.
The only real advantage that may apply here is the usability side that I
mentioned in the
