People don’t know about what they don’t hear about

Some people take the initiative to learn things on their own though. I suppose we're not their target audience however.

It was already on github 10 months and 3 months ago.

I tried OpenSnitch but it would always randomly crash while interacting with the GUI, and it would reset all my tcp connections every time you start it back up.

For those who actually think I said clock instead of cloak :)

Yes there is a risk of bugs being exploited just like any other feature in a browser. Another example is WebRTC being used to de-cloak VPN users. I think WebGPU and/or WebGL also had exploits that allowed remote code execution or escaping the browser sandbox.

it converts to a true open source license after a predefined period of time

What happens if that time never comes for the company and it goes out of business?

we’re carving a space for companies to safely share

To be fair, it's no safer than being GPL etc. in that any license is only as useful as your ability to enforce it in court. For a bad actor, whether they violate a fair source license vs a GPL likely isn't much of a concern at all.

What is a "shared unique similarity"? Sounds a lot like something that isn't unique to me...

Just because someone chooses not to be a privacy advocate, I don't think that means it is universally accepted that they are "freeloading".

Usually the people who I see make these kinds of arguments are the ones that don't participate in normal society and live in a bubble, and pretend capitalism isn't necessary for most people to live their lives.

Tails is an operating system

Yes, and it comes with Tor Browser, which normally does not spoof your OS when probed via javascript (only the user-agent), that is why I asked if you had a patch to the source code, which is what they would have to be using in order to do what you're saying.

All of them report your operating system to be Windows

As it stands, I am not able to verify your claims, as Tor Browser on Tails 6.7 is still showing the true OS via javascript queries for me:
