Comment:

 From gk's audit,

 > While looking over ctcp-time.patch I got reminded by the problem that
 Date methods may leak locale and or platform version information ("The
 format of the return value may vary according to the platform" (see:
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toUTCString). It
 might be worth verifiying that this is not a problem for Tor Messenger
 (Tor Browser had/has #5926/#13019 and #15473 for this issue).
