Re: [Tails-dev] [review'n'merge:1.3] feature/8665-remove-adb…

Hi,

[I should think again about this all, take into account all the new
data and arguments that were raised, so I'm undecided at the moment.
The following may looks like I'm arguing endlessly in favour of
removing AdBlock Plus at all costs, but really that's not the case.
I really don't know what we should do right now.]

Yes.

I admit I've personally not tried that recently.

~10k users a day doesn't sound like a big anonymity set to me.
That's only 1% of Tor users (no idea what percentage of Tor human
users who do web browsing with Tor Browser it is, of course >1% but
how much bigger?).

I'm all for seeing this happen :)
