Comment (by cypherpunks):
By the way let's smash this type of thinking once and for all, "X can be
found using Y anyway in Z circumstances, so let's expose X directly". Ok,
Tor Browser can be identified using exit IP, fingerprint and other stuff,
so let's expose that information directly, how about `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows
NT 6.1; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 TorBrowser/8.0` as UA?
