Comment (by tom):

 I haven't seen any comment about setting persistence, unless I've missed
 it.

 If you set custom settings for a domain, to persist those settings we'll
 have to record that you visited that domain, persist that to disk, and
 keep it there forever essentially. That's pretty horrible from a privacy
 perspective.

 The alternative is just as bad from the user experience side. Every time
 you open tor Browser, you're going to have to reset your slider settings
 as you visit each of your frequently visited sites.
