They don't want any of the new, dynamic features available in other web browsers and they only want HTML rendering without being tracked. They reject the assumption of other browsers that "more is better" and they want a browser that is less complicated and only does what they want.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/team/-/issues/44Inform potential users the "trackers" shipped with tor browser have been disa...2022-03-16T20:25:16ZsmoutwortelInform potential users the "trackers" shipped with tor browser have been disabledIf you read the description of tor browser in mobile app stores you will find it contains three trackers "google firebase analytics, adjust and firefox telemetry.", when I went searching through the bug reports I found they had been disa...If you read the description of tor browser in mobile app stores you will find it contains three trackers "google firebase analytics, adjust and firefox telemetry.", when I went searching through the bug reports I found they had been disabled, but not everyone does that(It's quite a hassle), so I think they would appreciate it if we informed them about it in the description.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/android-components/-/issues/40061Inform potential users the "trackers" shipped with tor browser have been disa...2021-07-19T15:38:22ZsmoutwortelInform potential users the "trackers" shipped with tor browser have been disabledIf you read the description of tor browser in mobile app stores you will find it contains three trackers "google firebase analytics, adjust and firefox telemetry.", when I went searching through the bug reports I found they had been disa...If you read the description of tor browser in mobile app stores you will find it contains three trackers "google firebase analytics, adjust and firefox telemetry.", when I went searching through the bug reports I found they had been disabled, but not everyone does that(It's quite a hassle), so I think they would appreciate it if we informed them about it in the description.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys/-/issues/44document what gettor does and how is implemented2021-09-02T15:16:30Zmeskiomeskio@torproject.orgdocument what gettor does and how is implementedLet's add some documentation about gettor.Let's add some documentation about gettor.Sponsor 30 - Objective 2.3meskiomeskio@torproject.orgmeskiomeskio@torproject.orghttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/support/-/issues/241Remove GetTor XMPP support2021-07-14T18:39:06ZGusRemove GetTor XMPP supportWe no longer support XMPP and that probably won't change in the near future.

However, looking at actual .csv values I get lines like
```

and it's not clear what is meant here (in particular as Gnumeric is of the opinion to convert those to `2925, 5.07, 8.88` :)). Pointing to https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/website/-/blob/master/src/main/R/rserver/rserve-init.R @irl confirmed that those values are actually in seconds.
