Comment:
Replying to [comment:8 bugzilla]:
> Regular update checks are equal to any regular self-updating webpage. Is
this really fingerprintable? AFAIK Tor basic design has built-in defenses
against this type of attack.
Can you expand on that last statement? While introducing some artificial
jitter and randomness to the Tor Browser ping intervals is probably not a
high priority, it is something we will want to do.
