Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [ticket:5016 strunk]:
 > Tor Browser Bundle users suffer from a bit of a bootstrapping issue.
 Local bookmarks are a privacy risk for those who must worry about having
 hardware stolen or confiscated. The Tor community has answered that
 problem with OnionBookmark (http://x7yxqg5v4j6yzhti.onion/). With
 OnionBookmark, it is very easy to store a set of bookmarks inside of the
 onion rather than inside of one's machine.
 >
 > Getting to OnionBookmark from a fresh installation of Tor or Tor Browser
 Bundle is rather difficult as hidden services don't exactly have memorable
 URI's.
 >
 > I would like to see OnionBookmark included with the default bookmarks in
 Tor Browser Bundle to use as an effective way to reach other hidden
 services inside of the .onion.

 Who runs that HS?  What do They do with the bookmarks people store on
 Their service?  Why should we encourage Tor users to use Their service?
