Subject: [Tails-dev] Tor vs Tails browser fingerprint
Dear Tor and Tails team,

The regular Tor Browser Bundle contains HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript as
extensions by default. The Tails OS version of the Tor Browser contains an
extra extension called Ublock Origin, which blocks ads.

The issue here is that Tails users would have a different browser
fingerprint from other Tor users, and this is a serious problem, because
the overall Tails userbase is orders of magnitude smaller than the overall
Tor userbase, making this a highly unique fingerprint.

Either the Tor devs should add Ublock Origin to the browser, or the Tails
devs should remove it. This difference between the two browsers is not
acceptable, please fix it as quickly as possible.

Kind regards,
Talon
