* simplify ciphers

- reinforce not to fuck with the cipher suite in the cipher's sub-section

-     ETAG [1] and other [2][3] cache tracking/fingerprinting techniques can be averted by
-     disabling *BOTH* disk (1001) and memory (1003) cache. ETAGs can also be neutralized
-     by modifying response headers [4]. Another solution is to use a hardened configuration
-     with Temporary Containers [5]. Alternatively, you can *LIMIT* exposure by clearing
-     cache on close (2803). or on a regular basis manually or with an extension.
+     Cache tracking/fingerprinting techniques [1][2][3] require a cache. Disabling disk (1001)
+     *and* memory (1003) caches is one solution; but that's extreme and fingerprintable. A hardened
+     Temporary Containers configuration can effectively do the same thing, by isolating every tab [4].
+
+     We consider avoiding disk cache (1001) so cache is session/memory only (like Private Browsing
+     mode), and isolating cache to first party (4001) is sufficient and a good balance between
+     risk and performance. ETAGs can also be neutralized by modifying response headers [5], and
