 Replying to [comment:12 mikeperry]:
 > Second, as for "somewhere in the middle" as a default, I'm also against
 that. If you have no idea what the slider does because you just clicked
 "Connect" without reading anything, you should not be subjected to a
 broken experience by default. The user will have no idea why or how to fix
 it, and their reaction will be to stop using the browser.

 Or they come bothering you. And having more than 4 years experience with
 explaining users e.g. which scripts on a page they have to allow to get
 that page to work as they expect I can assure you that this binds a lot of
 resources.
