Any userbases is worth money, though. Even one that prefers privacy still might like to buy a few things here and there. For example, I sure wish I could buy a fucking book without being tracked these days. There are no major brick and mortar bookstores left in my city, and I live in a pretty big city. So if Mozilla wants to surrender 5%+ of their userbase to us, hey man, we'll take it :) > >addons like Request Policy and Ghostery to try to filter "bad actors" > >(who can simply reappear under new domains on a moment's notice > >anyway). > > Maybe, but for now, TBB has NO way to block cross site tracking web > beacons, AFAIK.

What vectors do you belief remain that we have not covered a few dozen times in this thread and others? You smell a lot like a timewasting troll... I'm trying to help you understand what we're doing because I think it's important for everyone to understand. But you sure aren't making it easy ;) -- Mike Perry
