 Replying to [comment:33 ioerror]:
 > I'm still working on this patch - I'd like Mike Perry to comment and
 tell me that he'd use this on platforms where we support it (OS X,
 GNU/Linux, *BSD). Pretty please Mike? This will help us sandbox the
 browser...

 FWIW, I am on board for trying this in an alpha in Tor Browser if we can
 find a straight-forward deployment strategy. I think I would prefer to
 avoid an LD_PRELOAD approach long-term, but it can be used in the alpha
 series as a prototype, or perhaps even in a stable as an option that
 automatically gets turned on if you run a script to install an included
 apparmor profile that enforces it.
