 Cookie Culler
 "Kory Kirk is working on addressing this for this Google Summer of Code
 project for 2009." Update of this?
 Tor Button has not its own cookie management. I think this addon is not
 needed anymore.

 Toogle feature has been depricated and is actively discouraged.



 AdBlock Plus
 Move to not recommend list. Has been discussed on tor-talk that it can
 harm anonymity.



 Request Policy
 Probable same reasons not to use it as for AdBlock Plus.




 Better Privacy
 Remove. There is no more non tor usage.



 SafeCache
 Sentence "If you use Tor excessively, and rarely disable it" makes no more
 sense without toogle model.
 Mike ,is safecache still recommend for people who do not close and open
 firefox often?



 NoScript
 Needs to be updated.
 NoScript is now installed by default.
 Has been discussed.
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2012-May/024227.html
 My conclusion: Disabling it entirely is ok. Disabling on a per domain base
 is bad for anonymity.



 Are there any other issues I should be concerned about?
 Also needs update.
