Replying to [comment:11 mikeperry]:
> I think "Defend against third party tracking" probably should be its own
option, since the way we do it now involves disabling stuff like DOM
Storage and third party cookies, which may actually break more than the
ideal solution would.
That label seems misleading to me: Fingerprinting might be done by third
parties as well and is a means of tracking, too. Thus, if a user checks
"Defend against third party tracking" she might come to think that
fingerprinting is handled as well (which is not the case) which could lead
to unexpected behavior. Maybe something like "Defend against third party
identifiers" might fit better here.
