 > But this should land in alphas definitely way before we start the esr68
 transition. So, my current plan is to have this in Tor Browser 9.0a1,
 which should get out end of March/begin of April.

 Thanks, now tracking this on
 https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16357.

 > FWIW: you might be interested in #28044, too.

 Yep, this one is on our radar (we discussed it in the roadmap thread :)
