Comment (by viktorj):

 Replying to [comment:5 sysrqb]:
 > The platform/OS on which Tor Browser is running can be detected multiple
 ways, spoofing the user agent is simply a low-hanging fruit for obscuring
 it. The usefulness of this is debatable, but we should minimize the
 differences between platforms when it is possible.

 I understand. Ideally the user agent should be the same for all platforms,
 but I see that the platform can be identified at least via the fonts at
 the moment.
