Comment (by cypherpunks):

 "If that's not the case then there should be some bug report."

 There are many ways to identify its users. I'm against adding uBO to TBB.
 This will make unique fingerprint if the user choose filterlist their own
 and download them from the 3rd party server.

 Instead, bundle the "lite" blocklist to TBB itself. Lite-list will block
 some ads so 99.9999% user will not disable it. By bundle it to TBB, it
 will NEVER make a connection to the outside. Fingerprints will be the same
 because everyone use same list.
