 > You think correctly, but it shows that TBB is still a compromise :(.
 There is an inherent tension between security and usability in any browser
 -- a compromise is unavoidable. The slider is there to give the user some
 choice in the compromise they wish to make. If there were no tension,
 there would be no slider.
