 I found the signup page for the newsletter through the banner in Tor
 Browser when it updated today. I expect to be anonymous in Tor Browser but
 then it asks me for my name and e-mail address. Can we update the copy to
 explicitly say that signing up for the newsletter doesn't affect browsing
 or allow tracking browsing and linking it to your details?

 When I think about non-TBB things that ask for your name and email address
 it's things like Firefox Sync that do link your account with your browsing
 history.
