 > a) No, we don't want to do that but rather we should make sure that ETP
 is only used and perceived as a performance improvement. That might mean
 getting ETP out of the privacy part of the preferences and changing the
 respective text if it is talking about privacy. I think we could keep all
 non-UI things, though, like the preferences governing this.

 Oh, and as a reminder, all the UI showing different state on the URL bar
 and behind the "i" icon should go as well: there is just one state for
 fingerprinting reasons which is "enabled".
