I still wonder how that detection thing works. My custom Firefox setup with requests proxied through Tor passes as the TBB, but copying the same request as a curl command somehow doesn't.

Yeah, it's pretty weird and apparently it's being updated as well. Like, a year ago or so I wrote a browser extension to trick that detection mechanism when I'm on stock Firefox. Just when writing that comment I discovered something has changed and that's not needed anymore.
