Congratulations Tor devs! Serious kudos -- this is exactly the
direction TBB needs to go.

A couple minor things: the order of the addons in the toolbar seems
arbitrary (particularly the location of the Tor button, NoScript, and
HTTPS Everywhere). I'm sure it's not, but at minimum it might be good
in the about:tor splash page to have an arrow pointing to the location
of the TorButton in the toolbar if folks need to change settings.
Also, the search button image in about:tor is pixelated.

This is a huge step forward in UX, very exciting!
