Word.  It seems that the standard minimum for a web browser is 'Full 
network access', 'Read the content of your USB storage', and 'Modify or 
delete the contents of your USB storage'.  Have you scoped the 
preferences you might be including, if any?

Will bookmarks be removed, given the limited functionality and their 
potential role in fingerprinting?  Can they be (functionally, not 
technically)?  Or can a dialog display a warning similar to browser 
resizing of current Tor Browser releases if they cannot?

This seems to be a popular model :)  Thanks for this!

Wordlife,
