Description

It would be a good idea to set the useragent to some default value, maybe whatever the most common mobile useragent is. The ability to set tor specifically as a proxy is really great! As it stands though webkit allows a lot of personal information ie - giving servers the exact model of your device. Almost like google planned it.

Research direction

Search the Android code for the WebKit user-agent setup and the existing Tor proxy configuration. First clarify which default user-agent is acceptable, then verify that it no longer exposes the exact device model and add or update tests for the selected behavior.
