Hi all,
I've had this issue with surf forever, but it is gradually becoming
more of a problem as the web gets ever further away from HTML pages
served over HTTP.
When using Tor+Privoxy in standard configuration, and sending surf's
traffic through that by setting the http_proxy and https_proxy
environment variables, complex pages generally never fully load.
Specifically, they will partly load, say to 80%, but remaining
transfers never complete. When I say "complex pages", I mean pages
which have serious javascript stuff going on, like Google Maps and
Google Docs. Sometimes they load fine, but more often they do not.
I put up a screenshot of an example failure with the web inspector
at:

This never happens when using Tor Browser, though that uses its own
Tor process.
I don't find connection problems using Tor+Privoxy with other tools
like youtube-dl or wget, but then there aren't so many simultaneous
requests.
Possibly related (though I haven't had time to investigate much
yet), the cloudflare captcha page often fails to load the captcha
part of the page, with a "400 Bad Request" on the payload URL that
looks like this
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/payload?c=[longstring]
As you can tell, I haven't done a lot of debugging on this as of
yet, but I thought I'd post here to see if others have experienced
the same issues, or have any thoughts as to the cause of them.
