 Suggestion: Add the open source ad blocker AdBlock Plus
 (https://adblockplus.org) to TBB.
 Main reasons and benefits:
 1-It is already in TAILS' IceWeasel
 2-Saves TONS of bandwidth for the Tor network
 3-Removes a vulnerable platform, which is the ad networks, cookies,
 scripts, objects, etc... which the NSA is using to track Tor users,
 therefore increasing Tor users' privacy and security.
