----------------------------------+----------------------
 On many systems including MacOS and several Linux Desktops, the console
 output of Firefox ends up written to disk. Since HTTPS-Everywhere can log
 urls at any loglevel, this means that the user's browsing activity ends up
 on disk in these logs as well.

 We should make a log scrubber for removing/omitting these urls either
 above a certain loglevel setting, or if a separate pref is set.
