Bump If there is another venue of discussion more suited for discussing of Tor Browser anti-fingerprinting and regressions with certain websites I would be of interest. Thank you

Hi @h3xag0n ! I tested and this is indeed a issue while signing up for new accounts on Github. Investigating a bit further seems like this is a issue with Github’s support for Firefox ESR (on which Tor Browser is based). I think we can report this to their support team and/or comment about this on t…

New reply from Github: We’ve reviewed more closely, and have determined that the captcha should work over Tor and that we are seeing successful traffic from Tor exit nodes. Our engineers will continue to investigate why this wasn’t working for you. I appreciate you raising it with us. It still d…

some company’s websites block Tor so it seems like GitHub and Microsoft are doing it too…
