I hope, that I’m not too annoying with saying this, because I know that you have finite resources and maybe you already thought about it yourself, but it would be really good if you would always aim for the best security automatically, without someone like me coming on the forum and starting a discussion about it.
Because many people rely on the word of mouth I guess, that the Tor Browser has VERY good privacy…and like you probably know yourself, you can’t have good privacy without optimal security.
So if you, the Tor Browser maintainers, start saying to yourself…although to be fair I don’t know if it happened exactly like that: “Oh well, it’s only “slightly” more secure that way, so let people decide themselves if they want that extra security”…then after some time you will have dozens of weak security points in the Tor Browser.
Many people also use the Tor Browser, because they are afraid of their governments coming for them and the governments have a vast amount of resources, so not having that AppArmor-profile or whatever is needed here, could be a weak point, that government hackers will try to exploit.
So if your resources are sufficient enough, your mentality should always be “Aim for the best privacy and security, always!” and not “oh whatever, it’s only slightly more secure that way, not really worth it”…although like I said, I don’t really know if it happened that way, it just seems that way to me.
