Thank you for your useful add-on!

I've noticed that on some test sites the "true" operating system is detected. For example on:

https://www.deviceinfo.me/

which reports my faked OS as "Mac OS X version 11.3.6 (32-bit)" but detects my correct OS as "Linux x86_64".

Similarly on

https://browserleaks.com/javascript

where the platform navigator object is reported as "MacIntel" but the oscpu is again recognized as "Linux x86_64".

I wonder if something can be done against this?

Well, here are sceenshots that show what I'm talking about:

In General settings the first 4 are enabled, in Generator settings Firefox on Windows, Mac and Linux are enabled.

What am I missing?
