removing the slider component. As mentioned before, the slider is a UI
artifact that doesn't add any value to this settings. Instead, it confuses
users about their benefits on upgrade or downgrade.

*in general* and bind all the security features to the transport. But you
want to keep "safest", "safer", and "standard" but redo the "safer"
option. So, these are different things.
My interpretation of antonela's proposal in comment:33 is that there are
three global levels. See
[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/25658/25658%20-%206.4.png
the image] under "General Settings - about:preferences#security". The
three radio buttons correspond to "safest", "safer" and "standard". Then
each site would have two possible states: protected or unprotected.
