Comment:

 Mike,

 I too use RequestPolicy (RP), may I ask why it's not included in TBB by
 default? Is it that you're worried it will confuse too many users who are
 not familiar with RP?

 I dislike that TBB seems to lack important add-ons such as AdBlock Plus,
 RequestPolicy and (now) BetterPrivacy (although I'm aware of why it was
 temporally removed). I am unhappy about the lack of those add-ons (and
 others such as anti-tracking cookie add-on(s)) because it then makes me
 use a smaller (an wholly unique?) anonymity set being that I install those
 add-ons to my TBBs.

 Why do you choose to not include sound add-ons that will increase user
 security and/or privacy?

 Thank you
