Comment(by mikeperry):

 rransom: You're totally harshing on my buzz, man. There's so many things
 rolled into this Doobie my head is spinning.

 Unfortunately, most of them seem useless to us. It looks like Doobie is
 taking a temporal approach to privacy rather than an origin-based
 approach. We're pretty sure this is not the right way to go, because of
 cross-origin linkability problems even over short browsing sessions.

 However, the minimum set of features for this Doobie to be passed around
 the Tor community is to meet
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#security. If it
 meets that and comes with some tests to show it (see
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#proxy-obedience),
 we might reconsider our position of telling people to Just Say No.

 But Doobie also has to meet
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#privacy before it
 can replace our modified Firefox in Tor Browser. From the laundry list
 above, it sounds like it only meets it if you break half the web by
 blocking all third party iframes (and even then, it probably doesn't
 really satisfy the requirements until you break *all* of the web by also
 disabling third party images and scripts).
