How comes my useragent is Linux then? I just installed it fresh trom the arch official repos for the first time to test. Creepjs shows the useragent further down (not in this screenshot) and I visited other test sites as well.
I'll test it tomorrow by downloading it from the website.
Here some proof of my claim that Tor browser useragent string is Windows : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox/Privacy#Change_user_agent_and_platform
From five years ago, afaik suggesting Windows is the default : https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/26146
~~Tor browser from the arch repos is not stock torbrowser. Add repos for torproject/guardian project/whatever it's called now, or use the torproject.org installer.~~
Yes it is. Since what the arch repos have is a script to download TB from torproject.org
You're thinking of F-Droid (on Android), at least that is what the Guardian Project repo is for.
Thanks for the correction.
