From what I understand the observatory just aims to use statistics generated to identify 'fake' or malicious ssl certs.Hello. Can or will anyone address this new pop-up when using the latest version of the Tor Browser Bundle for Windows, as to the safety of choosing any of the choices presented? This is it: The new window says the following: SSL Observatory HTTPS Everywhere can detect attacks against your browser by sending the certificates you receive to the Observatory. Turn this on?

I would definitely enable https everywhere, and strongly consider observatory, but both are optional...
Both are by EFF, and they are pretty trustworthy, but if you know what you are doing then you can disable both and still have strong anonymity. If you don't know what you are doing you can enable both of them and still be perfectly exposed.
