Not only that, when using Firefox (Chrome seems fine), it's selected by default on Windows and Linux.

FF unfortunately does not support detecting the OS reliably...

Even with "strict" tracking prevention Linux is still in the user agent string. That's been very reliably IME.

"Linux x86_64" is present on my UA on Linux, and "Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64" on Windows. Probably a bug or just untested on Firefox. Just a bit annoying.

I'll add that this is the first site that misdetects anything like that.

Is it because of tracking protection/fingerprinting protection being on by default?
