Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:2 gk]:
 > Well, the security slider (as the name says) is for security related
 things while tracking protection aims at defending against cross-origin
 tracking. These are different things and I think we should not mix them.
 This would further complicate things and would make an analysis of the
 properties Tor Browser provides even harder. Thus, no, there are no plans
 to expose this in the slider.

 I agree that we should not mix privacy related things into the security
 slider settings. But if features such as tracking protection break a lot
 of websites, we may eventually want to provide a way for users to choose
 how much privacy protection they need. That said, at this point in time I
 do not think we have enough experience to decide what to group together in
 order to make a user interface that users would be able to understand.
