Spoofing User-Agent breaks PrivacyPass

See original GitHub issue

Hi. On Firefox, when you install CanvasBlocker, spoofing User-Agent with Navigator API breaks Privacy Pass. To reproduce it, you need a non-Windows environnement witih Firefox and PrivacyPass, install CanvasBlocker and load settings from this file. It works when you uncheck userAgent under Protected API features and restart Firefox.

I like to stress this issue out as it is just not working in the Tor Browser which is the place where it is most needed.

I am offering the bounty of $45 paid in BTC/XMR/Lightning BTC (depends on fees and your preference). The bounty will be paid upon releasing extension at addons.mozilla.org that is working in Tor Browser (it is possible to get passes on hCaptcha and CloudFlare).

My big thanks to everyone who was and will be contributing to this great project to fix the broken internet. ❤️
