[tor-talk] Anonymity & HTTPS Everywhere Observatory

[Joe Btfsplk]

Well, when I installed TBB 2.2.35-4, the HTTPS Everywhere version is 2.0 
dev 4.  Possibly the version updated along w/ any other extensions, on 
1st start of TBB 2.2.35-4?  But, that's what I have & I'd never seen the 
pop up  about the Observatory before now.
