It was at the Securedrop website. How did I end up there ? I read something about Sequoia and encryption and then wanted to see what Securedrop entailed.

Meanwhile I've raised the security settings. Still, today someone in this community (?) mentioned that Tor browser does not protect the remote to check for the OS, and now this. Color me surprised.

Default linux works too ofc, I didn't know they took that route.
Most other browsers have very specific useragents, so the main pool of same useragents will be hardened browsers anyway.

Thank you for checking

Try it with high security settings in tor, it might be something like canvas. Did you enable any permissions for the website?

Can you share your creepjs results with tor when you have some time to check it out?
