-----------------------------------+----------------------
 On exit TOR deletes user history but HTTPS-E permanently stores visited
 URLs in a file: ...https-everywhere at eff.org/defaults/rulesets.sqlite. This
 is a SQLITE file but can also be read in plain text. For privacy
 enhancement suggest deleting ruleset file on TOR exit.
