Hi HD,

Thanks for joining the discussion, and welcome. We (the Tor developers)
have been working mostly on making Tor itself work, and hoping that
other people would step up to help us figure out how to safely configure
the supporting applications (web browsers, etc). We could sure use some
help. :)

The current simplest advice I can give people is to remove all plugins:

Do you have any suggestions on safe ways to back off from that?

Thanks,
