New description:

 The purpose of Tor Browser is to build a private-by-design reference
 implementation of "Do Not Track", but through the alteration of browser
 behavior and without the need for regulation or begging. See also:
 https://blog.torproject.org/blog/improving-private-browsing-modes-do-not-
 track-vs-real-privacy-design

 We've done this by taking the basic ideas of "Do Not Track" and defining
 them as privacy properties in terms of linkability between domains:
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#privacy

 Here's the current list of known violations of the identifier linkability:
 [[TicketQuery(keywords=~tbb-
 linkability,status!=closed,format=table,col=component|priority|type|summary|owner,order=priority)]]

 Here's the current list of known violations of fingerprinting linkability:
 [[TicketQuery(keywords=~tbb-
 fingerprinting,status!=closed,format=table,col=component|priority|type|summary|owner,order=priority)]]
