Our official support channels [1] are used intensively. I expect we'll receive most complaints similar to yours via WhisperBack, which doesn't involve using mailing-lists. So I'm not worried about users lacking ways to tell us what's on their mind :) [1] https://tails.boum.org/support/ > Removing ABP is a stupid idea - like previous talk in the past of > installing the popcon package.
