 LibreSSL is a fork of OpenSSL by the OpenBSD team following Heartbleed. It
 improves security a lot from the original OpenSSL library.

 It would be better if Tor Browser used LibreSSL by default instead of
 OpenSSL. This would make attacks on the TLS implementation (such as
 Heartbleed) far less likely.
