That practice would be almost universally discouraged, except perhaps for some imaginative fringe cases.That's us.
Eh, I'd hesitate to say "us". I'm _not_ advocating for using add-ons in TBB, I'm just looking for ways to quantify the damage to anonymity.
Being part of an identified heard isn't as good as everyone being unique every session/circuit.
I've also got to strongly disagree here... if you're looking for anonymity and privacy, the "herd" is strong protection against that because trackers cannot single you out from the thousands of other users. If you are unique, then tracking you over the current session is trivial. Insofar that all Tor users look alike (I realize that is an oversimplified premise), tracking across sessions is also not fruitful.
And since it's Tor, we're not really trying to hide from the fact that we're using Tor... it doesn't make sense since the IP will always give you away.
Again, I can't reiterate enough... I'm not advocating for using add-ons as some have, because I do agree with the (afaik undisputed) logic that using add-ons in TBB harms your anonymity.

Being part of an identified heard isn't as good as everyone being unique every session/circuit. Though I don't think the outcome outweighs the effort yet, which is why we have the heard.
