 We make some effort to discourage users from setting nonstandard prefs in
 Tor Browser, or installing 3rd-party extensions/plugins. But maybe we can
 do more? For example, should we pop up a warning about deanonymization
 when users first attempt to modify a pref or install an addon? And if
 users click past that warning, should be periodically pop up warnings in
 the future to let users know they have nonstandard prefs or a nonstandard
 addon installed?
