 > > 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.
 Compromise is that the user wants to set High, but has to use Medium-High,
 because of e.g. #20314 and #17637.
