Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > Tor Browser should take a stand against this freedom of expression-
 hostile action from its partner Mozilla by adding to its forked Firefox
 code a "whitelist" of extensions that were removed from AMO purely for
 politically biased reasons

 How would that work? There's no need for a "whitelist" since there is no
 "blocklist" in the first place, one can easily install that extension by
 manually downloading it for instance.
