Re: Different google interface when using some Tor exit nodes

I'm aware of that, however, is there any particular reason why the exit
nodes that I've been observing load that version?  Are they owned by
Google developers working on the new interface?  Or are they just normal
users?  Perhaps they are corporate users who have a deal with Google?
There doesn't seem to be any link to the physical location of the nodes.

It might not be a Tor vulnerability, but it could be a Google
vulnerability.

This is due to IP based defaults. Google looks different from different
countries. Walk around in the world with your laptop and you'll see what
I mean.

This is not a Tor vulnerability.
