--------------------+--------------------------------------
 Back in 2018, when Tor upgraded from 7 to 8, the Disqus comment management
 system stopped working with Tor. I could log in, but the log-in tab could
 not communicate with the comment tab, so the comment tab did not know I
 was logged in.

 After some time, I enabled all 3rd party cookies, and was able to comment
 again.

 My version of Tor for Mac had been upgraded many times, and stopped
 connecting due to some cruft it had picked up, so I installed the alpha
 version. I could connect easily, but I could no longer comment. I changed
 to allow all cookies, but the log-in tab still could not communicate with
 the comment tab.

 I tried telling Noscript to enable everything on the tab, but no luck.

 I switched off Private Mode, but no luck.

 I tried to go back to the non-alpha version and downloaded a new copy to
 the Applications folder, but it could not connect. So I downloaded the
 non-alpha version to a private folder, and it can connect easily but
 cannot comment on Disqus.

 Again, the log-in tab cannot communicate with the comment tab. When I
 click log-in a second or third time, I never see the log-in tab (since it
 knows I'm logged in) so it returns me to the comment tab, where I still
 cannot comment.

 I went to Library and deleted everything that said it was from Tor, but
 still cannot comment.

 Now I cannot comment on Disqus (used by many websites, such as Arcamax and
 Comics Kingdom). And none of the things that got Disqus working in 2018
 work now.
