Description
When using Tor Browser to access [lmarena.ai](https://lmarena.ai), I encounter recurring errors that prevent normal operation. Often, the text input field does not load with the message `error Connection errored out.` At other times, I get `error Something went wrong. Please refresh and try again.` This happens both in **Safer** and **Standard** modes of Tor Browser.
**Steps to Reproduce**
1. Open Tor Browser.
2. Go to [lmarena.ai](https://lmarena.ai).
3. Attempt to use the text input field or click “Send”/“Evaluate”.
**Expected Behavior**
The input field should load, and sending/evaluating a prompt should work without error.
**Actual Behavior**
- Text input field sometimes fails to load with the message `error Connection errored out.`
- Sending or evaluating an input often triggers `error Something went wrong. Please refresh and try again.`
**Additional Context**
These errors consistently occur, making it impossible to use the text input or evaluate a model. Other websites generally work fine within Tor Browser, suggesting this may be a compatibility or connection handling issue specific to lmarena.ai.
