Comment (by cypherpunks3):

 Replying to [comment:63 arthuredelstein]:
 > Just for the record, one idea we discussed in our recent Tor meeting
 would be to introduce an adblocker that is off by default. Then a single
 toggle switch would be available to activate the adblocker globally. This
 would result in splitting the anonymity set in two (one bit of
 fingerprinting, on average).
 Ok, so what will you do with the by default (in 63 and higher) enabled
 Mozilla's built-in Tracker Blockers (they misleadingly call it "Tracking
 'Protection' ")?
