Could anyone elaborate why tracking protection was removed? https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17167 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/tick

  Presumably because it's normally off by default?

    This support ticket, which is linked to from the ticket you linked to, appears to say that the reasoning is related to semantics of security related to the security slider: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17898 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17898

  As mentioned in the ticket, Tor is opposed to filter lists: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#philosophy https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#philo... Firefox's “Tracking Protection” is one of these.

    That's stupid and inconsistent, I read the ticket and philosophy section. At the same time they add 3rd party NoScript extension that blocks JS, suggest to turn it on to 'safe' level that breaks 80% of websites and a lot of functionality on other websites, and they remove core functionality that blocks tracking, improves security and privacy and breaks less sites...
