 Replying to [comment:4 cypherpunks]:
 > Why the hell do you have it enabled? It is clear it is not needed for
 almost anything except playing games, rendering 3d models and exploiting
 the browser. The first two uses are not for TB. There is no reason to keep
 that except of being said "you must obey decision of <state-owned
 malicious agent> and insert a backdoor, otherwise you will be prosecuted".
 Can you stop with the baseless accusations? Just because the TB team is
 trying to "unbreak" a lot of websites doesn't mean they're purposefully
 doing it so that state actors can exploit the increased attack surface.
