### Description

<!-- brief description of the bug -->
BISQ fetches new update software via the clearnet thus exposing the user as a BISQ user(not advisable in some jurisdictions),
update software should be fetched as the tor browser bundle handles it  via tor only...

#### Version
1.52-1.82
<!-- commit id or version number -->

### Steps to reproduce

<!--if you can reliably reproduce the bug, list the steps here  -->

### Expected behaviour

<!--description of the expected behavior -->
as the tool uses the Onion network to do anonymous trading of bitcoin, I expected that app updates would be fetched from github via TOR also subverting watering hole tracking by would be listeners. ie the TOR browser bundle exhibits the correct behaviour for a tor using tool.

### Actual behaviour

<!-- explain what happened instead of the expected behaviour -->


allow the update to happen.. instead of the expected behaviour for a tor using tool(default anonymity).. it fetched via clearnet
allowing exposure and tracing  of the would be BISQ update user.


### Screenshots

<!--Screenshots if gui related, drag and drop to add to the issue -->

#### Device or machine

<!-- device/machine used, operating system -->

osx 10.15.7, 16gb 2012 MBP

tor version Tor 0.4.6.7 (installed via homebrew)

#### Additional info

<!-- Additional information useful for debugging (e.g. logs) -->
