"let's remove AdBlock in our next major release" Please don't. If the user(s) wish to remove it per session that's their prerogative, but don't remove it for us all. It is a very useful plug-in. "but it might also be the case that very few people complain." The minority use mailing lists, so you probably won't hear the complaints from the majority, they're lucky if they find the Tor Blog, the related Reddit sub(s), and tor@stackexchange. Removing ABP is a stupid idea - like previous talk in the past of installing the popcon package. I'm delighted that never happened. If you want to start removing things, begin with files which have no business in this distro, like: libsoundtouch0 libcheese-gtk21 libcheese3 [and other related cheese packages] libwildmidi-config libwildmidi1:i386 [...] and *many* other packages. Do we really need a package supporting playback of music from gaming hardware? MIDI software, too? Unless people are passing encrypted MIDI music I don't see how software like this is needed. Before you start chipping away at the browser and/or browser add-ons, let's take a closer look at other programs contributing to the bloat. _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
