Comment(by greg):

 Replying to [comment:1 cypherpunks]:
 > A subtle persona or theme goes a long way to distinguishing tor browser
 from other browsers. The user should be able to disable it if using tor
 browser in a hostile environment.

 Yes, I chatted w/ Roger a bit about this on IRC, I didn't think of this
 when I created the ticket.

 The problem is, I am not sure it is possible to make a profile subtle
 enough to not be noticed by a café operator, but still manages to be
 easily distinguished by a user as not a normal FF window.

 It might be better to just leave the current profile as is - with the icon
 change, that might be sufficient.

 I'd be interested in hearing what other people's opinions are, but
 personally I think maybe we should delete this ticket? (Or is that bad,
 since there'd be no record that this was suggested, then decided against?)
