ubuntu-tweak suggests some most used PPAs that benefit lots of users, it
doesn't enable them once you install and run the program, or enable PPAs
via a something like "one click" solution. It just provides a list of
PPAs that users might be interesting, and when the user decide to enable
any of them, ubuntu-tweak will warn the user that packages from PPAs
won't have the quality assurance like in Ubuntu archive and then enable it.
