 Replying to [ticket:11493 proper]:
 > No longer allowing connections to 127.0.0.1 at all (#10419) is a huge
 disadvantage.
 >
 > * Users using the i2p web interface can no longer use it using Tor
 Browser.
 > * Users wanting to visit their own hidden service using 127.0.0.1 won't
 be able to do so anymore.
 >
 > And what will they do? Using a regular browser.

 Well, you can set the exception in Tor Browser yourself if you need it,
 see #10419 comment 37ff.

 > Can you allow connections to 127.0.0.1 will still defeating
 fingerprinting issues (#10419) please?

 This involves fixing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354493
 which is not so easy...
