8 I'd put the browser into a separate network namespace just to be sure they

12 Still, Tor is mostly about anonimity and a user can't anonymize their
13 browser fingerprints to sufficient level with such setup.
14 A website owner can also disclose your location through JavaScript
15 (namespacing should prevent this, though).
16 I also vote for using Tor browser and do a research on their web resources
17 why video stopped working (it definetely was OK in the past).
