Comment:

 Why is the default set of feeds particularly dangerous?

 And even if it is dangerous, shouldn't we just empty it out?

 What privacy gain do we get from disabling this feature in TBB? I was of
 the opinion that this was only an issue for Torbutton/toggle mode (where
 your set of Firefox RSS feeds could easily deanonymize you through tor vs
 non-tor correlation). But, if you have a set of RSS feeds you want to use
 specifically with Tor Browser, why shouldn't you be allowed to use them?
