If you're checking for a custom user agent, you're doing it wrong. Not all people using Tor to try and browse the web limit their browser choice like that.

I still have the terrible experience of having to train Google's ANNs every 5 minutes when using regular Firefox and Chromium over a Tor SOCKS proxy and I blame CloudFlare for single-handedly destroying web browsing over Tor.
